My feet spring morning dew from blades of garden grass,
Chased by monsters in my pyjamas,
I scramble in fits of giggles and screams, and hide behind the cherry tree,

A fury talon paw sneaks from behind the bark as the pursuit begins once more,
I am not scared of these monsters, yesterday they were knights and Faye.

Seeing the opening of the trees at the end of my morning dew garden
I dip and dodge the branches of my secret den,
My monsters can’t find me here,
I look back to the opening of the trees

Crack,

The thin red sting, leaves my cheek insulted
I rub the assault away as reality returns to my periphery,
Guttural growls of monsters disappear, I am alone in my muddy pyjamas,
A cheerful call of a mother infiltrates the trees of my secret den,
Breakfast!
