 Artist: Susan Zulauf A Fallen Star ~ Linda L. Dowd ~ +*+*+*+*+*+ A star had lost its twinkle, Then it fell down from the sky. It landed in a wishing well, And soon began to cry. Fairies heard a soulful sound, That echoed through the dell. They gathered ‘round the source of it, And peered down in the well. In the depths of darkness, Glowed the faintest bit of light. It waned as they were looking on, That dark and fateful night. The star soon saw their faces, That rimmed the top of well. ~ Had he risen up to heaven, Or fallen down to hell? The fairies gathered spider webs, And made a silken rope. They lowered it down to the star, And gave their friend some hope. The whimpering mote of stardust, Clung tight to silver strands. His cries of joy and thankfulness, Were heard about the lands. The fairies summoned up the winds, To fan the spark of light. And soon the star was twinkling, And lighting up the night. The zephyr grew much stronger, And swept the star up high. He beamed in his happiness, To be back home in sky. It shone upon the fairyland, Sending love and rays of light. For now he was their guiding star, And would shine down every night. A star had lost its twinkle, Then it fell down from the sky. It landed in a wishing well, And soon began to cry. +*+*+*+*+*+ [This message has been edited by Earth Angel (05-26-2005 07:55 PM).] |

From in the depths of darkness, Glowed the faintest bit of light. It waned as they were looking on, That dark and fateful night. and it is in that humble abode that we know there you are, Good Morning, thanks always for your heartwarming words of love |

This is precious, dear Linda. There are so many stars around which have lost their brilliance. May we be the fairies bringing back "some hope". Another creation of your beautiful heart! Love and hugs. Margherita  |

(does happy dance) Awwwwwww, this made me smile as I believe there are indeed many faeries among us that see though stars may dim sometimes that they find a way to shine forever and will always have a place in the heavens, yay! (kiss on cheek) This is soooooo pretty, sweet Fairy Angel Leo, I love it, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Linda, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "If we have no peace, it is because we have forgotten that we belong to each other" |
