Oh come to me Sweet human child In the water and the wild Taste the berries picked with glee Join the brazen revelry, Turn back not, Or be forgot, Come to me, dear child. Come this way Oh Little one, I'll break the rain to show you sun, With the waves we sing and sway And will take you far away From your past Your pain won't last Come this way, my sun

Oh come to me Sweet human child In the water and the wild Taste the berries picked with glee Join the brazen revelry, Turn back not, Or be forgot, Come to me, dear child. Come this way Oh Little one, I'll break the rain to show you sun, With the waves we sing and sway And will take you far away From your past Your pain won't last Come this way, my sun

Part one – The Hedgerow watcher. He is almost obscured by the Elder branch, which laden with fragrant summer flower heads, casts a shadow on his cloudy features. Nearby, small birds chatter in a hawthorn bush, completely unaware of the figure sitting in quiet deliberation; only his eyes move beneath his darken brows, as he ponders the small animal traffic in the verdant river valley below. And were you to be hurried, or impatient, and not look too carefully, you would never perceive him at all, so well hidden is he. You would have more chance, if you caught a glimpse of him sideways through the corner of your eye, and even then there is the possibility, you would not believe what you had seen... His eyes light with golden flecks, as the late evening summer sun, ensnares sparkles off the languid river surface and directs them upwards into the unhurriedly darkening duck egg blue sky. He watches intently as a young female Fern bear snouts her way through and across the lush emerald green grasses just inches away from the river bank, where water voles play, creating tiny V shaped furrows across the shallow stream surface as they cruise the nearly mirror like silver face. He notices’ that he can see the smoothly pebbled bottom and the rainbow spotted coloured sides of the almost motionless trout as they hang fins fluttering awaiting the last daytime midges to perhaps drop down and furnish them with one last gulp of dinner. Native birds flit from branch to branch on the overhanging trees o’er softly trickling water, their tiny songs much muted by the distance, and up above a Buzzard floats on browned wing his eyes trained downwards to impale a darting field vole, which seeks his own dinner of scurrying iridescent Beetle. A flurry, as a black and red Moorhen jumps onto a small sandy beach at the corner of a turn, long wide toes and even longer legs, carry it up under the curve of bank, as it returns to its night time roost in haste. A flash of instant Kingfisher cobalt blue and a small fisherwoman arrives upon a twig, her anxious beady eyes blackly spearing the dashing minnows, which with silver sides, play amongst the reeds and gently waving flags. Part Two - Reynard the sly. A ripple runs across his hairy back, as upon the delicious breeze, he catches hint of reddish skulking, sulking trickster near, and then from edge of pupil gold, catches merest glimpse of tail held low, as Reynard makes his courtly bow. Neither twitch nor tremor, the watcher makes as deviously this prince appears, his fetid stench announcing him to creatures far and near. Then slowly as he cowers, the Fox glides by and down the steepest sides, to hope of careless rodent or of bird on nest, that might bring him windfall of instant feast that he may carry for his cubs that play at home beneath the staunchest tree, a woodland Oak of stout and height. They chase their tails in this perfect evening light, but learn of fear and flight, as horn does play upon a Sunday Morn, and colours bright which chase and catch them with some baying dog, not far removed from their much scary plight. And all along the bottom of the wall, as laid by hand, a hedge pig snuffles for a slug or snail, his attention close upon the leafy mould, and then a surprising squeak as rippling back with reddish fur and chest of white, a family of the weasel exit stone built home and hurry for their evening hunt of beetle, vole or mouse. They disappear amongst the tallest grasses as a damp mound of freshly risen earth ejects the black velvet mole, which sniffs the air before he enters home and tracks the juicy worm back to his lair. Little by little, so slow in fact, that you would not suspect, the watcher turns his face and looks with wonder to wooded river far, where branches bent create a vault, for shining, winding river run, and there in this, the darkest greenest place he spies a glint of hope as Dragonfly darts its wings a blur, and Mayfly dances beneath its many cathedral branches. And further still above the trees a line of deepest blue meets lighter blue as sea and sky become no more than one, and smell of salt in distant climes come hither across this idyllic vista... Part Three – Watcher revealed. Dog Rose crawls its way across the bushes of the hedge, mixed with twinning convolvulus of purple hue, light green stalked, white capped cow parsley, groups in fading sun, with ragged Robin and dark pink Campion standing proud along with other flowers. Behind the silent Watcher lies a different guise of manmade meadow topped with crop of corn, which yellow in the fading sun, has bread like smell, significant of fresh warm loaves, and Man the farmer, is carrying all his toil, for the harvest of his many labours. And in amongst this very yield, wild life is binding shoot and ear, as weeds are flourishing with the golden head, but make a pretty sight instead, for walking couple, who do not fear to tread, where woman glides as though a cloud, and pulled along upon her path, a little man who wishes he, was all alone, but must follow in his mother’s stately wake. Towards the hedge she makes her way, and life goes still and much less vivid, but Watcher never makes his move, whilst beyond the wall the light is dropping further still, he rests his hand on object dear, but still refrains from moving forth. And just before the barrier itself, she turns her stride and looking north, then moves away along a path, which chosen now will pass all sight, of secret ancient valley. The little man he cannot see what lies beyond his ken, and worries if he misses this, which might be very grand and maybe just beyond this very land. He tugs and pulls his Mother’s calloused palm, and as she continues on her elected special way, for she is old and cannot see, this wonder all around. The lady now cuts back towards the way she came, and like a ship with boat in tow, she cuts a swathe through sea of golden grasses, and when perchance the little man would look behind to see, if there were aught that he had missed, of life beyond the that wall. And then, as if on cue, the watcher stands, for he is proud with legs astride upon that hedge, no longer still but raising up, as he does stretch towards the sky, and then with no delay but still with yearning, he lifts up to his lips his instrument of all his learning. The boy’s eyes are all of shock, for he has seen the Watcher well, half man, half goat, with shortest curling horns upon his almost woolly head, and listens in near rapture as Pan the woodland God, plays a merry breathy tune upon his pipes of river **** The song is fierce and strong and as the boy pulls hard to stop his mother's walk; he looks away, in hope that he may, in attracting her closer assessment of the apparition, which he has spied in gay abandon, will be more than just a fancy of his dream. But when he turns his head to take a further glimpse of this sudden ghost, who would be dancing, playing away along a valleys edge, he catches nothing, but the song of bird but which whilst trilling strong, is nowhere near as long as tune in moment gone. Then in the middle distance church bells as the practice for the Sunday first begins, with peeling clap and stinging ring, and then as if he fears, that he shall never ever see again this horned guise of natural thing. He peers more closely yet again, but all is gone, and though he will return on summer nights, when man not boy he seeks a God, he never ever meets again, the edge to freedom and a God glorious not but never ever vain.

Towering over the moon glazed groves, Soaring phoenix of night- What are the storms of your mind? To what measure do your cloud wings extend? From shores of salt and shells, To the high rise of the wise old mountains, But where therein is your essence hidden? Flaming jewels for eyes, That vapor of solitude, Treading the night skies. Lined by lightning feathers And bold with thunderous clap, Created are whole windstorms at a single wing's flap! Great and noble, we know this bird. As loud as the storms at bay; But they say he is made in silence, Speaking through things unheard And words we cannot say.. So sailed across the star candled oceans~ Did the age-old secret scroll, Stories of the Night Phoenix, adventures of never-told!

Night Phoenix

Towering over the moon glazed groves, Soaring phoenix of night- What are the storms of your mind? To what measure do your cloud wings extend? From shores of salt and shells, To the high rise of the wise old mountains, But where therein is your essence hidden? Flaming jewels for eyes, That vapor of solitude, Treading the night skies. Lined by lightning feathers And bold with thunderous clap, Created are whole windstorms at a single wing's flap! Great and noble, we know this bird. As loud as the storms at bay; But they say he is made in silence, Speaking through things unheard And words we cannot say.. So sailed across the star candled oceans~ Did the age-old secret scroll, Stories of the Night Phoenix, adventures of never-told!

Vast unknown vistas, Take me to where my dream's dwell. Rolling prairies and shaded groves! Where the warm flowers welcome me home. Frolic and joy paint my expression Of this dream, elusive! ~~~~ Stepping softly, I wish to find An iron passage of ancient time! Here I can go forth into fantasy, enormous and sincere! Lean the trees of old Magic and lore they ever behold! Lord I wish to find A dream of Elven-kind! Where the wind speaks whispered fables of yore! Oh, how you flush me with flutters! What is beyond that rolling hill.. Venture forth, I must!

I do not love you as Romeo loved Juliet, tragic misunderstanding, spurned by society's blind perception. You are no angel sent from heaven above, God's promise made flesh just for me. We are not soul mates separated by time yet brought back together by Cupid's arrow. I am not a frog prince whose kiss will wake you from your long aimless sleep. Your dragons are you own, good luck slaying them. I will not build you a tower to look down upon me from above, Nor will I climb it in some idiotic feat to win your passing fancy. My love for you is not some tale told by faeries to orphans to give hope of a better life, of a love for each and every one of us, tragic as it may be. I love you, simply.

Mermaids cry with freshwater tears, Dreaming of handsome sailors who do not flee in fear, Or even mermen to share their dream with, For mermaids are alone. Sirens cry with silent sobs which no one hears, For their voice, Even lost and forlorn, Would only entice further lovers to watery deaths. Dryads tears drip heavy from leaves of great trees, Their pain giving life to the forest, Even as their love ensorcels their soul mates, And their heart cries out the truth, What is bound cannot be freely given, And is forever changed.

Faery Love

Mermaids cry with freshwater tears, Dreaming of handsome sailors who do not flee in fear, Or even mermen to share their dream with, For mermaids are alone. Sirens cry with silent sobs which no one hears, For their voice, Even lost and forlorn, Would only entice further lovers to watery deaths. Dryads tears drip heavy from leaves of great trees, Their pain giving life to the forest, Even as their love ensorcels their soul mates, And their heart cries out the truth, What is bound cannot be freely given, And is forever changed.
