Awaken to Dreams

Once upon a fine day in Spring
My love and I strolled hand-in-hand
To see the miracles Nature brings
When we found ourselves in Faerie Land!

We walked along and dreamed aloud
The world we would love to see:
Gardened forests to enchant a crowd
Who would protect Earth's natural beauty.

From our Path we gazed in awe
For life danced all around
What once was hidden from our sight
Was suddenly profound!

The Fae who heard our loving wish
Showed sign of Granted Dreams!
On the Path, in shafts of light,
Shone moth and butterfly wings!

When time arrived to steal us back,
They fancied we should stay,
Magic Mists hung in the air...
We thought we'd lost our way!

Sir Charles led us through their trap,
Emerging from their woods.
We took along the seeds of Fae
Within our hearts for good.

The Wish List

When Winter's winds stop whipping,
and the snow hangs in the air,
be sure to look around you
for the faeries who are there!

They play their games with time,
Catching us in magic places.
They are difficult to find,
but sometimes Yule see their faces!

Be good-hearted, make kind wishes,
while their magic fills the air,
and rest assured your wish was heard,
for the faeries, they are there!

Sometimes they are forgetful,
losing wishes while they play,
but you can always write to Kringle,
who keeps the Wish List up to date!

December 21 - Winter Solstice

There was once an Age when folk would count the stars...now so very few are left who can find the time to cast a skyward glance, let alone celebrate the turnings. Winter Solstice is just that: a celebration of turnings...from shrinking days to growing days, from darkness to light. This is a day of new beginnings. A day of fresh starts.

It is customary amongst the fae to create a list of "In's and Outs":

In's

Understanding
Childhood Wonder
Delight
Waving
Chivalry
Making Gifts
Smiling
Honor

Outs

Selfishness
War
Greed
Corruption
Deception
Secrecy
Materialism

Down the Rabbit Hole once more!

When Alice took a tumble,
the Rabbit Hole was a dream...
Though today I might say,
"Nothing's quite as it seems!"

Always late in bustle,
until rush loses reason.
What better time for Revival,
than THIS Solstice Season?

On the cycle of All Things,
From darkness springs the Light!
There's no need for losing Hope,
The future's looking bright!

Its a "Green" Revolution!
Is that too strong to say?
How about "Industrial Evolution"?
Would that be OK?

Golden times are arriving,
New Ways keeping Old.
For a time, perhaps Generations,
A new tale will be told!
