A Fairy’s Strength

Missing image

A Fairy’s Strength

I come to her in times of need
And sit with her as we confer
Of how a fairy should proceed
In times of need I come to her

She lies beneath a tree of shade
This silver pool with words so wise
When fairy magic starts to fade
Beneath a tree of shade she lies

She looks like me in every way
The silver pool beneath the tree
She lives deep in the Land of Fay
In every way she looks like me

I gaze into the waters deep
She slowly clears the murky haze
And wakes this fairy from her sleep
Into the waters deep I gaze

    On the surface this would seem to be about communion with a fairy companion which clarifies besetting issues and reveals resolutions. We imagine muses and fairies, genii and spirits who advise us, but in the end these are but manifestations of self. We gaze into the mirror, the crystal or the pool and talk to ourselves, bringing to the surface what we already know but only through this process discover.
    As ever, I am enchanted by your poetry. I believe you must rhyme and flow even when composing shopping lists so naturally does this seem to come from you!

    Amera, this is just like reading a childrens fairy tale book from long ago. I can just see it bound up in some volumn read by many childrens eyes.
