It is the time of Autumn's
stealing the summer away,
as the sunsets earlier,
and nights grow longer.
As darkness descends,
so a quiet prevails,
no longer do the crickets
sing their summer song,
instead a soft rustling
of dry leaves,
as a magical mist forms
in the cool of autumn's eve,
and the scent of wood smoke
pervades the misty air.
A gentle frost covers the still
green grass of summer.
Moonbeams dance upon the
dewy frost,
or is it frost?
Be very still, and watch,
very, very closely.
Is it frost or fairy dust?
Do not let your eyes
deceive you,
for fairies love to spread
their dust in fall,
on misty nights when
the moon is full.
They play in crispy colored
leaves.
Tis not the wind that
makes them rustle so,
but fairies calling you
to play with them,
among the fallen leaves.
As the moon sends beams
of magical light,
to set the fairy dust aglow
among the frosty glaze,
your heart is young,
as you believe they'll
grant your wish,
if you sing their autumn song!
< !signature-->

Summers haunting melody
that awakens
the butterflies,
calling them to join
the dance
in their silent song
of praise to God.

Ellie,
  I am once again transported to the magical land of What-If, a place where faires spinkle thier magic dust and frollic in the fall rainbow of leaves, Yes I hear them singing sweet beckoning tunes to come play, but alas, my boss beckons also, Later my spritely friends! Loved this Sis,
Dennis :^)

Moonbeams radiate
When the veiling cloud has past
Playful shadows dance
