Caren Krutsinger Poet Free verse

Does She Traverse the Galaxies

Could we dampen her enthusiasm by calling her out?
Possibly, so we were silent as she told us of her astral travels.
Does she traverse galaxies at night during her REM sleep?
A visage of cheerfulness greets us as she tells the tales.
Is it pernicious to allow here these liberties or wise?
As her parents, are we to be a sentry to every thought she has?
If we speak, or quell her enthusiasm, will her imagination be altered?
She is but a child. We do not want to blemish her freedom of thought.
My husband starts to speak but I clear my throat in warning.
We will speak of this well into the night, an enterprise I welcome.
