It is early afternoon, on a glorious late summers day. The breeze is soft, and the air is warm. The windchimes are singing a joyous tune of summers ending sonata. My delightful daughter proclaims; "Look, was that a fairy? I really think I saw one." I love the sense of wonder and delight, in her sweet dear voice. Have my fairy poems turned her mind? They have only, possibly, increased her sense of childlike joy. But wait, what was that? a flash of wings, then a tinkle of windchimes or... was it a fairy giggling her delight!

I like your Fairies Ellie this is an old one of mine: When I was a wide-eyed child Of maybe six or seven While idling in the garden once I caught a glimpse of heaven It was down the winding leafy path So far away it seemed Just beside the Lilly pond That’s where I’d sit and dream My back against the old oak tree My time I’d sit and bide Inside the big old rambling bush Sometimes I’d run and hide I’d lay and dream of childish things Like fishing and huge haystacks Finding birds nests on a walk And playing lone black jacks This was an early summer morn The dew still on the ground With an old log for my pillow I heard a wondrous sound Squatting on my new grazed knee Through the bushes…underneath I saw a ………flower fairy Dancing on a leaf My eyes were stabbed with wonder At the small and elf like shape Her wings were like a dragonfly’s And petals formed her cape She pirouetted round and round And hummed a lilting tune And as she sang played with the breeze Her face was like the moon The beauty of her song and dance The day at her command When she got weary she’d sit and sip A dewdrop from her hand Everywhere she lightly touched Became a lightning glow With stardust falling from her hair It amazed and thrilled me so The radiated happiness Filled all the den around But when her name I tried to guess She was gone without a sound I can recall it vividly The imprint on my mind I call her Columbine to myself She was so sweet and kind Many lifetimes past since then The childish vision dimmed But I remember Columbine When song and laughter brimmed So now when turmoil takes its toll I lay as in a trance I close my eyes and cast a dream And watch the fairy dance Jon Mewett [This message has been edited by Jon Mewett (edited 09-21-2000).] |
