"Secret Places"

The grass is soft
and the pond is cool
Around grow the flowers
and the tiny toadstools.

The trees, they glisten
with leaves of pure gold
A tiny little wild spot
that is ever so old.

A hidden place from our sight
A place of natural beauty
and serene delight
So tiny is this,
we can hardly see
All over the earth
there are millions of these.

Overlooked by us,
as a puddle, not a pond
Never do we see it
as anything beyond.
So it is fitting
that these places glisten with pure gold
For to us, we cannot see
these tiny little strongholds.

Yes, you may see
a few toadstools growing in the shade,
And you may see the puddles
that in your mind
only the rain has made.
You may see the flowers
and the soft grass,
Appearing to you
as a mushy moldy mass.

Yes
these are the Secret Places of the Fae
A place where they can
safely stowaway!!

Come fairies
take me out of this dull wrld
for I would ride with you
upon the wind
and dance upon the mountians
like a flame.

~W. B. Yeats~


"Beauty Born"

Casting dreams into the air
Where I dremt...I know not where!
The sky was filled with a radient light
All was pink!
Or so I think!
Pink stars twinkling in the sky
A soft pink cloud floated by,
And
Bubbles seemed to fill the air
In this dreamy sight that was so fair!
Ahh...
To my wondering delight...
A tiny faery came into sight!
Amongst the bubbles...she floated there
With subtle peace and slumbering care.
There appeared a glowing light
In her hand she was carrying on this flight.
Suddenly it was as if my mind was an open door
This
Was the birth of many more!
As they departed from her hand
It was than, my mind did understand!
Oh...sweet faery of the night
I thank you for giving me this wonderous sight.
And through the years as I grow old...
This one thing is mine..
I once saw your beauty unfold!

Whisper when you speak of Faeries!!


I do wander everywhere
Swifter than the moon's sphere;
And I serve the fairy queen
To dew her orbs upon the green.

~William Shakespear~
