Bette Bavington Poet Villanelle

Do You Have Fairy Sight

Can you see the invisible
In any light?
Can you hear the inaudible?
To children this is indescribable
They have been given the fairy sight.
Can you see the invisible?
To adults who have lost their childhood it is
Incomprehensible
And a blight.
Can you hear the inaudible?
Their not even susceptible
Especially since they can't see the soft glow of
Fairy light.
To see the invisible
One has to become as a child flexible
Which makes children such a delight.
Can you hear the inaudible?
Children have the ability to believe that all
Things are possible
Which gives them so much foresight.
Can you see the invisible?
Can you hear the inaudible?

Darlene De Beaulieu May 30, 2019 at 6:41 PM Hello Bette Bavington, I think as we grow into adults we lose our fairy sight. Only the children see the fairy. Have a nice evening my friend.

Mystic Rose Rose April 19, 2019 at 8:28 PM Yes quite often I do, but I keep it to myself, many people do not understand, Glad you shared this jewel Better. Bette Bavington April 19, 2019 at 8:48 PM Pixie, I think that is wonderful. People who see them are as children. I understand completely. I am glad you liked it.

Andrea Dietrich April 19, 2019 at 5:46 PM I sure wish I were able to see them. I have friends who claim they have, and they are not even children! Nicely done. Bette Bavington April 19, 2019 at 6:09 PM Andrea, I am glad you liked it. I am glad you have friends who have seen them. They are as children even tho they are grown. I am a child at heart and always will be. I still haven't decided what I want to be when I grow up. Lol. I hope you have a great Easter.
