Today i saw the crystal rain strip color from the trees,
But i did not see your eyes.
Today i watched the blackbirds landing in the ash
Send spinning down the keys,
But i did not watch you move.
Today i saw the white clouds drag their skirts across the ridge,
And i heard migrating swans, trumpeting deep in the dusk
Low above the pumpkin farms, land on the lake with a hiss,
But i did not hear you breathe.
But i did not see your eyes.
Today i watched the blackbirds landing in the ash
Send spinning down the keys,
But i did not watch you move.
Today i saw the white clouds drag their skirts across the ridge,
And i heard migrating swans, trumpeting deep in the dusk
Low above the pumpkin farms, land on the lake with a hiss,
But i did not hear you breathe.
