The Fairies' Lore


When a whisper of air touches your cheek
And sunbeams dance on the wings of the sky
When a song’s tune seems just out of reach
Yet resonates to the edge of a sigh

* ~ * ~ * ~ * ~* ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~

Fairies will dance among dreams under the sun
Mingle with mortals perhaps deaf and too blind
Cavort among those who think they’re alone
Whispering words of beauty, gentle and kind

* ~ * ~ * ~ * ~* ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~

Wishes aren‘t granted by beings so small
Nor do they cast spells or turn slippers to glass
They flit among selfish, cruel and the bold
Flying aside for those of evil to pass

* ~ * ~ * ~ * ~* ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~

When night blankets the world from the sun’s rays
Fairies drift among the ones sound asleep
And whisper of hope - and of love - and of dreams
Sharing fantasies for imaginations to keep

* ~ * ~ * ~ * ~* ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~

From their world they come to offer their gifts
To dance among moonbeams and share a true love
A whimsical joy fairies cast upon Earth
When they fly down from clouds soaring above

* ~ * ~ * ~ * ~* ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~

Don’t close your eyes to the beauty around you
Don’t muffle the sounds of earth’s symphonic song
Keep your mind open to wonders that you can’t see
For then the magic of fairies grows strong

~ * ~ * ~

Alison, you captured the magic of the fairy kingdom ~ Methinks ye know from personal experience.

On my first read-through, I was goblin ~ I mean "gobbling" up your words. On the second, I read slowly and savored the flavor of each one of them!

Love & Fairy Magic,
Linda

Of course! Among fairies there is quick recognition.

You did such a lovely job here, dear Alison.
A joy to read.
