Watch me watch you

After the dark

Before you were born

A cold front

Pressure

Built up a storm

 

You were observed

Watched for progress

We finally found you

In a moment of focus

To us was brand new

 

All your moves measured

Record kept safe

Any hint of rebel

I encouraged

Allowing time to accel

 

Your consciousness

Alien to our ways we keep

For you we stay grounded

Your flight nature asleep

All your thoughts in a hurry

All of how to escape

From observers of us

You show growth as of late

 

But before we were made

Aware of your skills

Of how slipping your mind

Changes language of time

We knew you had already

Highjacked this domain

And returned to the moment

Where we stayed watching your space
