Faery Knowledge

 

I sit beside the little creek

Feet dangling in clear l’eau;

Blue eyes all dreamy as I think

Of things the faeries know.

 

How to change little copper leaves

To cloth made of bright gold;

And bring the stars high in the sky

Down so that I might hold

 

Their brilliance and pure sweetest light

A-twinkling in my hands;

As I, with eyes wide and amazed,

Regard them, many as sand.

 

And wonder, as I watch them slide

Between my fingers, down

To rest upon the moonlit earth

And lay all on the ground,

 

If all the faeries in this world

Can make the earth so bright,

And make me feel like I could fly

Just as they do, tonight.

Author's Note

There was a period of time in which I wrote mostly poetry that dealt with faeries and fantastic creatures, because it was more interesting to me. This is one of them.

I can clearly see the picture you've painted with your magnificent words. Also faeries and mythological creatures rule! Love it!

I can envision the the picture you're painting with your words so clearly.
I'm not much for faeries and pixies and such but this particular poem brings a sense of hope to the reader.
