Once upon a time,
deep in the forrest
of long ago dreams,
and magic musings,
there reigned the
Queen of Fairies,
Lyria was she named.
She reigned over all
the mystical creatures,
and fey fairies fair.
She was a loving
and kindly Queen.
But her heart within
was sad.
For the one she dreamed
would be her King,
had wandered to the
dark world, of empty
dreams and lost hopes.
Nary a spell or magic
potion,
could turn his heart
to love, and bring him
to her side again.
So she pined for loves
lost dreams, and ponds
of crystal tears were shed,
through meadow and through
dell.
Then she met Queen Butterfly,
one soft spring morn in May.
Monarch heard her deep lament.
So as she gazed in tear filled pond,
she saw a vision clear.
I'll spin my magic silken thread,
that's touched your crystal tears,
around your loves cold heart.
Twill make it sleep a magics rest,
throughout a winters coldest turn.
Then to emerge next springs first kiss,
renewed and pure of heart.
So spring came once again,
on wings of mystic dawn,
and there his heart emerged,
as pure as lilies white,
and as his eyes beheld,
Lyria, his fairy Queen,
his heart was filled to overflowing
with her loveliness sublime.
And so they reigned ten thousand years,
in loves eternal bliss!

A little bit of fairy dust in this one

There are enough colours in the world,
To paint your own dreams,
You won't get them,
Till you try.

This is enchanting!   And I just love the alliteration in "fey fairies fair".  A very nice read.  Thanks.

Dear Ellie,
  Some how I missed this one- but I am glad I found it and could revive it.  It is a magical tale, told in grand style. I think it would be the makings of a grand childrens book!   David


WOW- another day of life-and here among friends!
Ain't God Grand!
