Night's shadows fold softly
In the forest glade
A gentle, loving darkness
Palpable, caressing,
Charged with entities
That bring our dreams
Alive;
Enchantments,
Raptures and dances
As the owls and deer
And wolves look on;
A frosty coating on
The grass, crunching
Underfoot; breath
Plumed in the
Autumn air;
Sprinkled
With shimmering
Faerie dust,
That love may bloom
In the flames
Burning joyfully,
Smoky tendrils
Streaming
To the
Starry sky...

Wow! I really love this! I love the way it feels and the way it folds out. The way you write really is magic.

...like the cover to a beautifully painted Christmas card, depicting that log house in the distance, with fireplace light through the window, and glitter sprinkled around the card to pull you in to the atmosphere...  This is of what your poem reminded me...

"When you tell the Truth, you never have to remember what you just said."

When we grow up the little child in us that beleives in fairies goes to sleep.When we get old the little child awakes.I whispers to us come to the bottom of the garden and watch the fairies dance.
