In the silence of morning before break of day The faeries are dancing to whisk me away Their beauty and wonder their magic of flight Bring me to my knees and seal off the night Show me hope yield me truth Give me glimmers of dreams… held in my youth A glimmer of lightening is seen in their dance My heart is yearning to partake their romance But day crawls on slowly in response to sun's rise And I am left wanting with tears in my eyes Show me hope yield me truth Give me glimmers of dreams… held in my youth Their magic and mystery enfolds me in mist As by the spirit of promise of their dance I kissed The faeries are dancing my heart beats in time In tune I recall when all dreams were mine Show me hope yield me truth Give me glimmers of dreams… held in my youth The dreams of remember are filling my heart Tears well in my eyes and areforming apart The faeries are dancing with dreams held aloft The yearning descending as morning comes soft Show me hope yield me truth Give me glimmers of dreams… held in my youth I wait through the daylight and wake through the night To know faeries dancing appear to my sight In whisper of morning before day begins The faeries are dancing and my heart sings Show me hope yield me truth Give me glimmers of dreams… held in my youth In sadness and sorrow I bid them begone As morning comes too soon and mid morn is done Somewhere in my spirit the faeries do dance But till silence of morn I'm bereft of romance Show me hope yield me truth Give me glimmers of dreams… held in my youth For I am weary I tire of romance And faeries capture the scent of life's dance. Faeries can capture the dreams of my youth Pleas faeries lead me to wisdom and truth Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind. Unknown |

Kethry I am just a sucker for anything to do with the fae but to read such a lovely piece before bed was absolutely the best! I can't even pick a favorite part I loved it all. ~* Imagination is more important than knowledge *~ |

Keth darling sister of my soul’s delight OH MY this is what I was talking about, it’s utterly utterly breathtaking in its beauty. YOUR pen has been absent from these pages too long. DON’T GO AWAY AGAIN, I missed you darling heart. I know I spoke to you daily but I didn’t get any jewels to sparkle in my dreams sky. I missed your beauty, I missed the special Keth magic that only you can lay before me. I know you weren’t well, I’ll forgive you, but don’t do it again. Next time drag your poor sick self to the computer and leave me a gem Love and warm stuff As always Mushy To give light to them that sit in darkness..... to guide our feet into the way of peace Luke 2:79 |

Keth .. this is beautiful, in its whistful longing and its cadence kissed imagery and fantasy.I loved the repetative lines and the way you incorportated their theme in the closing verse, bringing the whole inspire full circle. creative and wonderful writing and presentation. Well done Kethry-girl Dont walk before me, lord knows I cant follow dont walk behind me, I dont think that I can lead dont walk around me cause you know how dizzy I get.

Oh Kethry this is beautiful and I love the faeries so. You don't have to be on a spiritual path to believe in Faeries, you just need to have a heart that can love...to have just once in your life wished upon a star. This is extremely well done! ~Hugs and Smiles, Nancy~ ~Time has cast a spell on you, |

'glimmers of dreams held in my youth'. Whew! Suddenly I could see a memory I haven't had in years. I miss the wonder of youth, this brings it back. And then I'm struck by the wistfulness in the poem. Very well done. You are the expert at this. Nan |

The dreams of remember are filling my heart Tears well in my eyes and areforming apart These lines express better than I could my reaction to reading your beautiful poem... for I felt the longing... it finds only an occasional respite in dreams. This is stunning, Kethry... written so well. *S* And the final plea has me sighing "Me, too..." *S* |
