When fairies dance

 

 

 

 

When Fairies Dance

 

As twilight gently touches born of daylight aftermath

Cicada’s serenade a drift the trees

Tiny points of light appear along the wooded path

Floating ever tender on the breeze

 

The setting sun relinquishes the sky once full in bloom

Slowly as its tapestry reveals

Shimmering the beams now falling forth an autumn moon

Illuminating what the night conceals

 

For  here within my beating heart, it's you that I desire

Walking all alone this star filled night

Wishing on a clover leaf to be what you require 

 To share with you this beautiful delight

 

Imagination captures in the wake of what may be

Creatures of the night now gather round

The rustling of underbrush for comfort that they seek

Muted is their darkened scurried sound

 

For on this night of fantasy before my eyes I spy

Crystalline these wings about do prance

Twinkling as stars aloft now blanketing the skies

Magic comes this night when fairies dance

 

Formed of tiny features in a delicate compose

Their beauty finds my heart it now can breathe

Once of stories long ago, of local lore it rose

Though on this autumn evening I believe

 

Whispering in silence of a filtered golden shine

My mind it drifts to images afforded by romance

Love it finds this evening now a' shimmer in this rhyme

Wonder does abound within a trance

 

Quietly I watch while moving swiftly to my view

A tear my eye does form as I’m alone

Every thought of beauty is a thought that I love you

Oh how I long to make your love my own

 

Maybe I can hold onto this magic I have seen

Here beneath a mystic sky above

Place it in a poem, send it to you in a dream

So you will know you are my only love

"Maybe I can hold onto this magic I have seen

All I can think to say about that is what I felt reading it "awe, how sweet, dreamy and romantic."

You've taken me on a magical adventure with this one Jack, imagery is outstanding. Fanciful and mythical, if I close my eyes, I can picture fairies dancing under mystic skies.... Always a romantic read from your pen my friend.
