Altered Perspective- Brandee Watters

Unrecalled but, Remembered

Staring out her window- normal oft times.
Yet, creatures are crawling, climbing outside.
Scary nature these figures? Only sometimes.
Not frightened at all, she must now decide
To lie back down to sleep or jump and fly.
Adventure being her forte, verdict clear,
Glass pane she shatters up three stories high.
Wandering on the wind ‘til ground is near.

Friends of the darkness all circle about
To greet the young girl who can stand the light
Yet, chooses to roam when other pass out.
You see, the forgotten love a black night.

Who are these unrecalled spoken of?
They are fairies.
And dragons.
And nymphs.
And wizards.
And banshees.
And all things in touch with their magic.
However, most humans are not.
So, onward they trot.
Forgetting to look,
Tough reminded by books.
That spells and enchantments are real, if we ourselves can see.

Well, this girl could see the magic around
And oft times visited the lonely ones.
Once she had flitted down to the cold ground
She started her nightly journey, the run.
The ups and downs, flying, also swimming.
So much passion in so little action.
The journey with creatures just brimming.
However, this is all just abstraction.

The girl never left, not really.
Honestly, this may seem silly.
But a lucid dream is freeing
From the complex human feeling.
