Para-Normal

 

never fails to amaze

how the implausible

becomes accepted

what once was feared

still is by some

in others

now taken for granted

 

in that

every family has its share of stories

of things not right in daytime

but mostly at night

of human flowers cut down

by the Reaper’s sword

some when they were supposed to

others by their own hand

before the allotted time

 

flickers in the electromagnetic field

orbs that fly across rooms undetected

except in the lens of a video

cold spots heralding portals

to parallel dimensions real

as the spectral voices

caught on digital tape recorders

where it’s believed by some

angels and demons reside

 

never fails to amaze

how the fringe

becomes mainstream

what once was scoffed at

still is by some

now another branch of science

in those who see

and can speak to the dead

 

at least every other night

on the television

fact becomes fiction

and fiction reality

but is it truly real?

or just a carefully concocted

sound and light show

with music added

for special effect
