Arrival

My dad's a miracle and so's my mom
They fly over the blue
They finish their dinner and then they take one another's hands
And off they go to find a broader point of view
For it's a give and take beyond the ordinary
What with all the cats and kids that they've loved
And they will not be alone.

My friends give me purple flowers and orange tea
On goosedown spilling quilts and turqoise chairs
We greet each other in a wild profusion of words
And wave farewell amidst the wonderment of air
And in the laughing times we know that we are lucky
And in the quiet times we know that we are blessed
And we will not be alone.

Well, the light that stopped the night felt like forgiveness to you
As the garbage trucs came bustling through their rounds
You stared at the pictures on your wall and all the postcards from your friends
As you heard thebirds and old familiar sounds
And that's when you knew this world can't be saved, only discovered
Andyou knew that things could be different from before
And you will not be alone anymore.
