Fairy Dance

'Some people don't believe in fairies, but if you look really close they're always there'

Fairies dance upon my soul

they string my heart 

with golden strands,

threads of silken crystals

swaddling it

 in love's whispers

*Hush little baby don't you cry*

they sigh in soft voices of angels

we're here with you always...

we float lovingly

 weaving hope and faith

we are the smiles and coos 

of babies' breath 

stellar bursts especially for you

we come out at night and play

amongst the night stardust

fiery bursts explode

magically transformed into

 love baubles floating freely

on zephyrs'

spirit and unbroken promises

Author's Note

This is for my dear friend Vic, who as you may already know does a lot of the artwork I've presented with my poetry. She's still struggling after a bone marrow transplant, but she's a tough butterfly warrior still putting out beautiful artwork.

Thanks khalid, she is extremely talented and extremely sick too, I don't know how she continues to turn out such beautiful artwork...

Beautiful poem, amazing art work and thank you for sharing these thoughts. We all need our dusting of the fairies. They create those very sweet dreams much like adding sugar to a desert. All the very best to your wonderful friend, Vic.

[KAOlmsted]

This one is top notch. Great work with this one. And I love the artwork; I hope Vic knows how much her talents are appreciated by us.

[Frieda P]

Ahh artists are worse than poets, she thinks all her stuff is mediocre...but I have told her....

[KAOlmsted]

We are our own worst critics...sometimes ;-)

[Frieda P]

I agree, I guess that's what keeps us going, striving for that perfect piece that satiates....ha Not only poetry ;-)

[KAOlmsted]

Ha! :-D

[Baby Ricochet]

what's the dif between a fairy and a Pixie

[Frieda P]

...fairies are supernatural spirits, pixies are mythical creatures of English folklore....same difference really.
