There is a hidden valley nestled round by fields of snow. It's always been quite peaceful there and where I like to go. A happy breeze blows through the trees soft clouds float gently by the rustling of leaves - serene and birds sail through the sky. I like to lay there napping and listen to the brook or sometimes go exploring round the sites to have a look But there I know a special place so wonderous to behold, I know it must be magical like stories told of old. There live the little fairies, timid people, oh so shy that if you breathe too heavily away, on little wings they'll fly But if you stay and watch them they'll come out to play and have a merry festival and laugh and dance all day. Although that's a sight to see there's even better yet. Don't move or make a sound until the sun has set. Upon the setting sun you'll hear the murmurs of a sound that builds up ever gradually till music's all around. It's beautiful in harmony and their little bodies glow. The song they sing, so beautiful dancing lights lined in a row. And here's the part where in your heart an urgent need awakes to join the dance and with them prance so strong your body shakes. I haven't been to see them in years, I'd have to say. So sad, I can't resist the dance, and scared, they fly away. |

Hope you enjoy. Saw this site and it looked like it would be fun to post some poetry here. Noticed some other good authors here  , thought'd I try too.There's another poem I posted similar to this called "Lovely Velvet Violets". Hopefully they're worth the read |

Welcome, Talon! I thoroughly enjoyed this poem. The imagery is beautiful-I could see the hills, the forest, the fairies-WOW! ------------------ *Elizabeth* "Dwelt a maid belov'd and cherish'd by high and low, But with autumn leaf she perish'd, long time ago..."
