Fairies

Fairies



If you wander into the woods
Be sure to peek behind the trees.
Fairies may be in hiding there;
They'll disappear quick as you please.

The fairies are a friendly folk,
At least, they may appear that way.
They’ll lure you with their fairy wiles;
Siren like, you'll be lead astray.

Timid, beautiful woodland nymphs
Swathed in soft diaphanous gowns
In subtle shades of nature's hues
Like leafy greens and somber browns.

Whispers in the rustle of leaves
Will lead you to their secret glade.
They'll gently soothe away your cares.
Why would you need to be afraid?

Fairy maids will wine and dine you.
They'll whisper that they love you so.
You'll think that you're in paradise.
They'll never, ever let you go.

Weeks and months will pass unnoticed.
What seems a day may be a year.
The world outside goes on its way
While you remain in limbo here.

The fairy mists will enshroud you
So you can never see your way.
Memories are but long lost dreams.
From fairy land you cannot stray.
