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.

i really liked the artworks accompanied with your poems, i thought always there must be someone great behind it. sine i know who this person is, i am totally with you that she deserves this nice poem and so much more and i really hope the best for her as well as you

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

when we feel pain of sickness, we do things we like to make us forget the pain. im sure she enjoys doing that. let her do..
