Amber Moon

 

 

 

The lantern swings above the door
on this a night in May,
the path is lit, for fairy lore
they gather here today.

All fairies, pixies, elves and gnomes
salute the amber moon,
spells are woven in their homes
they sing an ancient tune.

Forgiveness for their sins and crimes
though magic folk are good,
protection for the future times
here deep within the wood.

    I read the poem and 'saw the picture' before I clicked your page and saw the picture. They are both well suited. Good luck in the contest

    How you must have struggled to keep this piece within the word limit, one could see so much more lingering in the background waiting to be released Excellent Good luck in the contest
