Soft Willow Basin

♥ Soft Willow Basin ♥

There the sun comes softly
as if through frosted glass
And all of time moves slowly
as the lazy hours pass
The air is warm and sweet
on a quiet summer's day
And you'll hear a gentle laughter
as the fairies dance and play
This honeysuckle place is one
That I wish that I could live in
But only fairies know the way
To that sweet Soft Willow Basin.

Spring Fairies

♥ Spring Fairies ♥

When the snow begins to vanish
And the grass reclaims the ground
The songs of birds will fill the air
With a sweet enchanting sound
The fairies coax the crocus
To awaken from their beds
And toward the sun they gently tilt
Their brightly colored heads
The daffodils are next in line
And soon the tulips too
These busy little fairies
Have so very much to do
For the Winter greys have faded
With the first fair blush of Spring
As the fairies paint their magic
Over each and every thing.

Unseen

♥ Unseen ♥

Fairies dance, light and keen
In forests brushed with shades of green
You'll try to glimpse
But never see
Their sweet clandestine revelry.

"Quote"

"To a poet, words are like a lover to be caressed and wooed." ~ Dawn Litchfield

"Quote"

"A poet's heart feels too deeply for itself,
Oft drowning in joy or sadness,
Either can be equally as devastating" ~ Dawn Litchfield

Woodland Deep

♥ Woodland Deep ♥

Within the pristine woodland
Hushed and hidden, green and deep
Lies a world of mist and magic
The trees a fabled secret keep
Timeless in a shroud of green
The forest fairies play
Lost in ancient dances
On a long-lit summer's day
Till the dusky song of evening
Call them to their sleep
They nestle down in mossy beds
In their eternal forest deep.

Fairy Slumber

♥ Fairy Slumber ♥

Twilight settles o'er the wood
Like a blanket soft on fairy beds
And stars with silent magic glow
As weary fairies rest their heads.
