Soft dewy cobwebs…… cover this place And fixing my stare my heart beats with thunder The new morning sun is warming my face My eyes disbelieve the vision that’s under Parting the newly sodden…. thicket of green The soft embalming sound of a flute in the air No one will believe the treasure I’ve seen A lone fairy piper……… was just playing there The joy of the music mesmerising my head The filtered clear notes just hung in my mind I crept to the ground prostrate as if dead Not to disturb the small……. minstrel kind The nimble small fingers so slender and fine Gracefully moved across the flute made of gold In a fleeting of time this memory ……was mine For years it as warmed me and kept me from cold Real hung suspended in …..magical trance The flow of the tune was lilting and sweet Time held my hand my soul danced ….a dance That had been lost on the wind and hidden from feet The song of the fairy ………drifting in waves Caught quickly the leaves the grass swayed in time The daisies were bowing in reverence of staves That were conjured in heaven a tune so sublime And then we were joined in our communion of souls By a ship who drifted in on the warm summer wind Majesty of colour who ……conducts and cajoles The notes floating skyward …….. not to exscind The fairy ceased to play and …started to sing The butterfly its head ....in a musical sway She softly then whispered and alighted his wing And in dance of pure joy they….. floated away The hymn of the fairy if you listen you’ll… hear It comes with the morning as fresh as the dew It resides in the beauty of that fresh morning tear In your search for it’s tune I’ll give you a clue Rise in the morning when silence reigns free When small creatures hide from the daylights long hours In frosty white wonder look close and you’ll see The tracks of a minstrel ‘tween the secretive flowers Jon Mewett This morning I was sort of devoid of inspiration (well it is Thursday)and then I read Ellies fairy poem and this came to me in a flash. Perhaps we saw the same fairy? Anyway thanx Ellie....may all your spells come true  Jon |

Jon; I'm so happy that you posted this beauty, and it truly is a beautifully written poem, right up my fairy alley! Ellie Summers haunting melody that awakens the butterflies, calling them to join the dance in their silent song of praise to God. eL |

Jon~ < !signature-->In that little tweak of time 'twixt starlight and dawn Fairy's dance out on the lawn Enchantment graces radiant pixie faces In the sudden burst of spotlighted sun The show has ended the day begun Off in the shade fern hiding them well Fairy's dream until night comes to dwell *Well, didn't you just sprinkle me with a little fairy dust of inspiration ? Yes, you did ! Thanks ... enjoyed this immensely. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ [email protected] [This message has been edited by Marge Tindal (edited 09-22-2000).] |
