Dance Of The Crystal Moonbeams

~*Marge Tindal*~

In the quiet of the night
when moonbeams dance so full
Faeries place a watering crystal vase
upon a tiny mushroom stool~

Then while they are sleeping
in the Little Woodsey Nimpkins Forest of delight
The moonbeams come to splash about
in the crystal of the night~

In the liquidity of the evening
while Little Nimpkins and Faeries rest
Moonbeams of a pregnant moon
play at their very best~

When upon the break of dawn
the Nimpkins do awake
Of the refreshing drink of life
the little ones partake~

All that nature possesses
is consumed to refresh again
The tiny Spirits of the forest
know the moonbeams are a friend~

As with all things beautiful
the chain-of-life is strung along
Catch a moonbeam in a crystal glass
and drink a morning song~

Margie girl darling sister of my heart How pretty and incredibly sweet is this adorable poem. The artwork is wonderful, but your penning is utterly utterly divine. I love it such a sweetly beautifully written poem from you darling heart.

Absolutely excellent, I love it. I’ve had such fun on here today all the good poets are out in force. I think they have been reviving themselves with Margie girls moonbeam cocktails. Excellent work darling girl utterly excellent

I love to dance under moonbeams, though I'm a bit bigger than a Nimpkin. Enjoyed the read.

Oh I just love faery/magical poems!  What a delight to read!   Makes me want to run outside, bare-foot and dance under the stars   Still too cold for that though....c'mon Summer!

Every time I see one of June's paintings, I itch to peruse her entire collection... each and every one is a joy. *S* But I guess patience does have its rewards... for seeing them here on PIP, I get to read Marge's wonderful poems... which allows me to see with my heart as well as my eyes... I bask in the enjoyment. *S* This is beautiful, ladies!
