Night Watcher
In trying to understand what I am, please listen to me first. I am something you may not have heard of, or if you did, you would not believe it was true. Though most of the time you would not see me. I fly through the night, in the darkness and in solitude. The speed at which I fly you would not be able to keep track. I know you may try to watch me thinking I am something else, when I am surely not. However, this is not something for you to be concerned about. I am what I am and if you don’t understand me, that won’t change that fact.
Still I see you trying and I see you hoping that one day I will show myself to you again. Allow you to focus your attention on my black wings. My horns that show brightly even in the dark skies. However, you are wrong; it won’t happen as easy as you wish. It may never happen at all for you. The creature I am, I don’t allow people in. They don’t need to know me. So why are you so curious about something you know nothing about? You need to ask yourself that question as you hold your lens of your camera towards the sky. Ask yourself, why do you need to see that blur that passes in the night?
I see you look out your window, expecting my arrival at your doorstep. I won’t come just because you ask. For me, I go where I want to, and you have no say. If I want to come get you at your home, I will do so. For tonight, however, I don’t have time to waste on your curiosity. I am going to a place you will never see that is for creatures like me. Flocking to this area will give me a great joy and fill in what I need. I bet you wish you knew what I meant by this place, but you will never have a chance to find out. I may just stop by your home for a visit, just to grab a bite to eat or two.
I bet you would like to see what I really am. For me to see you would just be a short distraction of where I really need to go, but I will show my face to you only once before I need to do something else. Since you are so desperate to meet me, I am sure you won’t mind me not staying too long. I know you will understand I have so much else to do. When I visit, I will stay for just a moment; this will be a special time for you. This time we spend together will be amazing and you will remember it for as long as you can. Time will only be evident for you when I am long gone. You will remember me as you will and will always remember the bite marks I left on your neck.
