Poem: Forest Faerie Tale



Night falls to creatures sly
Eyes burning bright in the moon filled sky
A bringing together of disparate minds
brought together by space and time.

Quiet are the little lights
that bring forth their eldritch glow
Into the deep of night where woody wights do go.

The rustles among the dead, dry leaves
grow stronger with each windy heave

Peat moss softly like a cloud
feet go quickly underneath the boughs.

Senses wild with scents and sound
Energy growing---wild--unbound.
The moon she sends forth her wanton rays
Into the forest's Faerie ways.

It glides across the peat moss floor--
opening every portal door.
The worlds meld like flames to wax
Moonbeams—sealing long-lost pacts.

Raising hands up to collect the light---
We gasp and clasp our fingers tight.
Holding on to our grounding firm
Yet pulling like wool we 'round the turn.

Our minds are free—Faerie turned
Our hearts are fire that freely burns.
We sail—we flee—we fly to the sky.
We feel we shall never die.

And to the moon we dance our fate--
our souls open up like a garden gate.
While we sail our ship of deep--
we find our peace and fall asleep.
