Monsters in the Dark
For all the kids who were friends with the closet monster.
The girl with the big brown eyes.
Wise beyond her years,
She knows.
She understands the whispers of the night
She sees the ghosts, ghouls, and goblins.
She sees the fairies, pixies, and sprites.
She feels the flow of life through her finger tips,
Dances to the beat of the universe
She learns early on what its like to be
Different.
Weird.
Lonely.
She learns to lie about her feelings Act normal.
Doesn't draw attention to herself
Doesn't pay to attention to her friends
She begins to loose sight of them.
Slowly at first.
The energy is at the woman’s fingertips but its lost much of its potency.
How she wishes she could be the girl.
The one who knew the rhythm of the universe.
The one who never felt safer than with the monsters in the dark.
For my Grandma, who never discouraged my imagination. I love you, always will.

My To Be Read List
I have been taking some time away from writing. I haven't forgotten about Vocal, the truth is I just have been too busy pursuing other things to write online and honestly, my little family and I just had a really hard month between the flu and a weird eye infection/cold circulating our house. I'm currently sipping some warm peppermint tea because my throat is sore.
