A human child,
drew a picture of a fairy
with a tail, whiskers, and
coat long and fluffy like a cat.

A fairy child,
drew a picture of a human
with a tail, whiskers, and
coat long and fluffy like a cat.

Both traveled in their own reality world.
Both believed anything was possible.

Inside my breath and imagination
I sprouted fairy wings to fly like bird.
Body tingled in wind.
Senses became heightened.

Melodies grounded
as voice pitched to heartbeats
echoed.

Freedom was mine
in a moment of spiraling
leaps and bounds.

Love’s energies integrated
and life’s reality changed
in a magical moment.

I saw two fairies dancing between the trees
twirling and swirling in perfect harmony
Their iridescent wings fluttering shyly
gold dust radiating outward daintily

Oh how lovely, I had thought
that these creatures had found the love I only sought
'Twas a passing wonder though so I turned away to leave
but something caught my eye that I just could not believe

There was a certain desire in their movements
hungry, haunting, ravenous
And the gold that encased them was not floating languidly
it spilled out from their bodies in all different ways

That's when I realized 'twas not a dance they were performing
but a ritual of death: silent, graceful, mourning

She becomes more beautiful every time I see her.

Is she a fairy
or
am I a fool?
