In These Moments

When I was a young girl,

I used to take daily hikes,

To the top of the mountain.

I would spend hours,

Laying amongst the wildflowers,

Watching the sky,

Imagining far off places,

That only existed,

Within these moments of thoughtfulness.

In these moments,

I was a harpy queen,

Soaring with the birds,

Traversing the clouds.

In these moments,

I was a mermaid,

Swimming with the beluga,

Exploring the watery abyss.

In these moments,

I was a centaur,

Running free with the mustangs,

Across the endless plains.

In these moments,

I was the real me,

Always hesitant to return,

To this worlds false reality.
