A Dream on Film



I have it on film, so it was Easy to Paint.
 I've painted it a 100 times.
    A Shadow crawling on my Wall with no Form----Beside it.
  The Pitbull kept jumping at the wall as if to Catch it.
   The Cat took one look at it &
Hid for days.
  I could only FEel it pulling
       On my Brain
   As if to open it; but it never
       Touched me.
So, thinking I was was dreaming,
    I picked up my brand new
Camera & started to Film.

   On the TV, a horror Movie was
     In full swing;
But the person sitting beside me never saw a thing!  ???
    Later, I showed the film to
My then fiancé & all I got was:
  "It must have been the Dog."

 I'm glad that YouTube censored it
The Religious will call it a Demon or God
& You know Atheists will call it a Fraud.
   But I know what it's not.

It was NOne of those things; it was an electromagnetic Hole.
     A shock.

I've painted it a 100 times &
Even though I have it on film
  ----I can't get it Right.

 I know only "Living Things" move AND play moving like that.

   So, why did it need
Camouflage for the Eyes of a

  Woman, Dog, or Cat?

  If it had just stayed still,

I wouldn't have seen it
   At all.
