Tiny light,
tiny light
shinning in the
darkest night.
off and on,
off and on
Are you Fairies
from beyond?
Flying here,
flying there,
gossamer wings
do you wear?
Tiny lights flicker,
tiny lighs shine,
are you little Fairies,
little Fairies mine?
In the dusky gloaming,
in the eve's begin,
some say you're just
an insect,
black and long and thin.
I believe in Fairies!
I believe in Fairies!
so, tinkerbelle or
firefly,
magical still are these.

Oh the wonders of a flirefly Summer
Enchanting lightbeares flickering free
Suggesting enchantments of a fairy realm
to lighten our thoughts, make troubles flee!

Thank you dear Ellie, for this lovely vision of innocence and magic.  You continue to amaze me by the spectrum of your poetic styles.     David

Oh, Ellie~
Your little Faerie fireflies light up the night.
So enchanting.

My great grandmother, Annie Wainwright,
wrote this when I was just 8 years old -

quote:
'If you lost the twinkle
from your little green eyes
I found it tonight
in a garden of fireflies

I gathered a jar
full of sparkling light
I found your eyes twinkling
in the garden tonight'


Thank you so much for sending
me to my cedar chest to search for it.

~Ellie~

As always your poems are magical.  This was a great read, perfect flow and rhyme with great imagery.  From reading your many poems, I see that you are very spiritual and love to reflect upon the beauty of nature and enchanting things in this world.  

Take care,
Melissa Honeybee
