Sometimes
you can see fairies
dancing and flitting about the tree branches...
gossamer wings gliding
across the night skies
leaving trails of stardust in their wakes.

Sometimes
you can hear the soft beat
of fairy wings flying near,
making wondrous music that
catches you in its spell...
your heart soars up to join the flight
as you balance gently on the edge of dreams.

Poem from
Fairy of the Woods CD

I saw the shining Fairy Ring,
myself within it's Heart...
And I found a lonely comfort,
Though its magic touched me not.....
Its magic touched me not.....

I wandered by a running stream,
and touched its stones for strength,
Then I settled 'neath a great oak tree,
and drifted into sleep.
It lifted me with gentle boughs,
and took me far away.
When I awoke, the darkest night
had chased away the day

I lay within the Fairy Ring,
myself within it's Heart...
And I found a lonely comfort, yet...
The magic touched me not.....
The magic touched me not.....

My mind a whirl of clouded dreams,
I knew not where I dwelt...
Yet in that shining Fairy Ring,
a calming warmth I felt.
Oh thrice I called unto the Fey,
and thrice about was turned...
I fell upon the living earth,
and in that moment learned.
For there that night I felt a touch,
and in that moment knew
The Fairy magic had revealed
my hearts desire most true....
For in that touch I felt such love,
and in that moment knew
that I did touch a perfect love
my hearts desire so true
...my hearts desire so
