Otherness

Ahh...it wasn't what I thought it was 
Wasn't...what it seemed 
I thought.. I saw beyond the pale 
Perhaps..perceived 

A dream 

Snuggled.. in a shadow's crook..
A secret branch of tree
I thought.. I caught..
A glimpse of other 

My wishes..not to be 

Perhaps..my eyes are not so seeing 
I know I felt a...thought 
Minds.. can sense..
What common sense ..denies

It's how we're taught 

Structured teachings..limit reaching 
One only goes so far 
Those.. upon the other side 
Want to be..want us to see 

We limit us...we bar 

All else
