Moonlite Faries Poem by James Casey

Moon Lite Fairies

Ten tiny creatures of womanly form
Meet in the night in a fairy tale swarm
With the moonlight sparkling in their eyes,
Ten pairs of wings dropp from the skies,

Onto the lawn they land, inside a ring,
Then ten tiny pixies prance and sing
Of heavenly illusions and breeze borne flight,
Known only to those who dance in the night.

If earth bound eyes by chance do see,
Mortal minds can't grasp or flee
The Fairies Worlds are their own
Where mortal folk should never roam.

If man doth stay where fairies leap,
And choose these places in which to sleep,
Then blundering idiots they do become,
With fairies only can they eat or run.

For if, by the fairies you are kept,
Since in their circle you have slept,
When the next full moon doth rise,
Twelve pairs of wings will take to the skies.
