 From Under Toadstools They Came.

Swirling around me
they danced upon twinkling tips
over shimmering shards of grass
stirred by the early morning breeze.
A hundred sparkling amber eyes watching as
I walk amongst them, smiling, mesmerized by such beauty,
riveted on the turn of a new season, now the last butterflies have gone.
Filligrees of autumn, flashing golden in the low, warmish sunlight,
dashing off across the field only to return to peek once more.
Delicately, they flutter up around and skyward,
And I watch
magically
transfixed
as faeries
descend down
again from up above
~Adapted poem by Ruby Watson

The fairy poet takes a sheet
Of moonbeam, silver white;
His ink is dew from daisies sweet,
His pen a point of light.
~Joyce Kilmer

Let my teaching fall like rain and my words descend like dew, like showers on new grass, like abundant rain on tender plants. ~Deuteronomy 32:2  ✝

    • Oh I love it, JoAnna. Yes they can, and I am definitely young at heart. Still feel on the inside like I always have and I loved my childhood and fairly tales. I’m so glad you enjoyed the “fun” tonight. But then I would have guessed that you would have. Have wonderful weekend, my friend. Love and hugs, N 🙂 ❤

  6. Natalie my daughter liked the fairies and I appreciate the words you chose yo highlight love, play and imaginstion. I believe God loves children’s use of imaginary friend seeking comfort in a protector when they don’t have an adult around. Your Deuteronomy quote is a blessing. 🙂
