    Dark Stars

    A daylight hike
    Creek polished stone
    The forest reaching high
    Rocky walled undertone

    Sunlight caught
    In a sparkling rain
    Silent spread little rings
    Upon creek’s domain

    And I’ve seen that small Willow
    Growing from a rocky cleft
    In fact I’ve leaned beneath it
    Upon cool concave to the left

    It’s from there that I’ve listened
    To the wind-carried forest’s call
    Distant birdsong drifting by
    Shimmering waters sing and fall

    One evening while trekking
    Though never quite so late
    That concave beneath the tree
    Seemed to open… and await

    My eyes fooled?
    What is this I see?
    Or not, for it was dark
    Can I resist this mystery?

    I approach, I go to touch…
    Yet the rock has melted away
    Pushing on, I enter the portal
    Upon night time’s sweet bouquet

    Above me glisten dark stars
    From a soirée on high they shine
    Whilst around me darkness flows
    Patterns a lovely serpentine

    The warm darkness ebbs
    Pulling me deeper still
    My senses reaching out
    I hear a Whippoorwill…

    Instinctively I turn around
    A crescent Moon outside
    I pace forward to leave
    Dark stars move for me aside

    For they’d drifted down now,
    About me they’d tugged and played
    Dark stars I thought they were
    But I see now: Night Time’s fae

    They are the Spirit of the darkness
    Many wonders in the night
    Only an insecure unknowing
    Could give one any fright

    So I move not to the portal
    But lay comfortably within
    Darkness solidifies about me
    Those fae... now crystalline

    A wiser heart I do have now
    As of Wizard or Sister Witch
    Their apexed hats reaching high
    Touching wisdom to enrich

    So when you see that small Willow
    Growing from rocky cleft
    In fact I lay behind it now
    Within cool concave to the left

    It’s from there that I now listen
    To the wind-carried forest’s call
    Distant birdsong drifting by
    Shimmering waters sing and fall...

    International Fae & Sign of Spring

    Hey these are the latest, and as it turns out we've got many parts of the world represented here...

       
    Here's Priscilla (Catalonia) who's picture was taken by Sebastia Pagarolas (Catalonia), Lindsey Goodbun (Angleterre), and Kyoko Baertsoen (Belgium).
    Here's Erika Carrijo (Brasil).
     
    Here's Maitrayee (India) and her daughter Arna, who's just learning how to fly. Next is a pic I just took of some Sandhill Cranes flying North.
    Here the cranes circle in a thermal to gain height. That's a coincidental formation. I guess they love thermals!
    (Can you spot the hawk in there too?)

    How would you react?

    I just friended Kyoko (Lunascape singer) last night on Facebook, and found this on her page. What's with this audience, huh?

    Faery this, that? Faery Music!

    We have so many cool faery artists here... but I don't think I've seen faery music yet? I just spotted Twig's Facebook featuring this Lady though, and thought I'd post it here. Beautiful! I'll pledge a few bucks! ;^)

    Weak hearts look no further!

    If your heart is weak, you don't want to look at this picture. For it is the ultimate in fearful... It's... It's... SCARY FAERY!
