The Veil Between

The Veil Between

A Poem by Cherrie Palmer
"

Inspired by MJ

"
The day has come,
but not yet the sun.
As the veil of mist rises.
Like a kite it does fly,
dissipating in the sky.
Waiting on moonbeams to find it.

With the velvet of night,
the veil is wove tight,
and the realm of the Faye comprises.
Their curtain of mist,
by man may be missed,
until their song calls us.

Scurrying away,
you can hear them at play.
With lingering smells of lavender and sage.
Their eyes shine bright.
Bringing to some a fright.
As they flee toward the coming day.

The king of the dale sits on his hill,
waiting for the minstrels to sing.
As Fairies of old frolic so bold
wearing the petals of Spring.
With a curtsey and bow
the dance of the owl they'll cling.

They fly through the air,
with moon dust in their hair.
As they spy on children at sleep.
But a warning I give
to those who have hid,
beware the calling of your name.

Thank you:)
I love your description here of ‘a curtain of mist’, we woke to exactly that here in Wales this morning so this was very fitting, I’m a big fan of folk lore and myth so this is right up my street. Lovely.

I rewove little red riding hood with faries in it and really liked it.
Second line I read as "not yet"
I like this fable...although I really do believe in fairies...there is another world out there that we are not often privy to...but it's there.

Has the sound of an ancient Celtic or English folk legend. The last lines have a touch of menace in them. I would give these fairies plenty of room.

Maybe just enough darkness to keep kids in the bed. :)
A wonderful poem dear Cherrie.
"They fly through the air,
with moon dust in their hair.
As they spy on children at sleep.
But a warning I give
to those who have hid,
beware the calling of your name."
I loved the above lines. I write poetry and story in my dreams. The mind, a place of mystery. I liked the message shared in the poetry. Thank you for sharing the amazing poetry and your thoughts.

Mysterious and lovely. In a realm of mists what do we feel and see? Excellent way into the Sidhe mounds.

You may need to try your hand at a tale.
Beware indeed! Mortàls have vanished into fairy mounds forever, lured by just such a call.
Amazing job, my friend. Companion to my words and sequel all in one. Beautiful poem.
