somewhere in deepened forest
o’er hills of sorrow drifts
a sprightly spirit dances
on nature’s treble clef

slipping through the branches
of pines disguising shadow
comes faery dainty spirit
drifting lightly o’er the meadow

running through the shadows
where love does surely loom
stars by tital number many
in sacrament with moon

she sits upon a snowflake
to rest her faery wings
wondering of an old time
and a song she used to sing

within the deepened forest
upon flakes of soothing snow
sounds the mighty zephyr
through dales of far below

zephyr’s ancient whisper
in breezes now combine
her song now touches heaven
‘tis something God designed

thoughts and prayers to heaven rise
to ease the fragile moment
touching stars that God assigned
have found her written parchment

now the quiet lingers
that falls upon the night
mom walks away in softened gait
leaving calm her peaceful sight


Speaking of ghosts, wouldn't you know here comes mine again...

(big angel hugs) Awwwwwwwww, this is sooooooo gorgeous, sweet friend, just the vision alone of a fairy sitting and dancing on a snowflake made my heart smile as His love and grace is everywhere and innocence and magic lives in Him! (smiles) God Bless You, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Dale, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton
