It all began with a giggle…
As a child chasing butterflies…
While tripping over my own feet…
~
As I grew older I would catch a glimpse…
Of someone dancing between shadows…
I was told that it was just a passing cloud…
My siblings laughed and teased, my so called foolishness…
~
In time my playmate became more bolden…
She went from giggles and laughter to words…
Wanting to know my name…
I was waiting for you to come out and play…
~
She taught me to play hide and go seek…
I wasn’t very good. She always found me…
She could change in an instance…
As she taught me about the changing Seasons…
~
Over the years that passed, I was moved from place to place…
She was always there, even before I arrived…
I would see her, holding up a finger to her lips in a sssh…
We found less and less time to play together…
~
Bigger cities have less places for her to hide…
As I began to learn that all shadows are not the same…
I was yelled at for going to the park by myself…
I was so excited about a new word I had learned…
~
A few nights later she came to me in a dream…
We sat together as she explained to me the word realm…
As well as how it was breaking all the rules…
She could break the rules, but I could not…
~
Time will often pass way too fast…
Or so very, very slow…
She could come to me in my dreams…
As time passed, there were fewer and fewer times…
~
We both began to age and mature as the Seasons passed…
My thoughts about her began to change…
I noticed the changing Seasons and how her attire grew…
I had more questions than she would or could answer…
~
I began to delve into more and more books on realms and such…
No one seemed to know or understood the different realms…
They used words like parallel universe’s, and astral planes…
I wanted to touch her, to feel her in ways I could not…
~
One night I felt lips upon my ear…
In a whisper…
Were breaking all the rules…
As we explored a new realm…
