Dreaming

Through haunting steps was I lured here By a melody faint but clear To this glen where fancy drifted By the rays my sight was gifted Peering through a portal twixt Fae and mortal realm are mixed With heavy eyelids did I trace Beyond a doorway fairy laced A land that to a sleeper seeming Would only appear to one who's dreaming So with a nodding head did I Accept an invitation devised To set aside these earthly ways And wonts belonging to the day For a realm where sprites aplenty Weave a spell soaked litany They prance and dance for my surprise To these misty mortal eyes And caper on until a time For fairy bells to warning chime The dawning of lights soon arrival To Herald the end of dreams survival Now all the fae folk gathered hence Did ask a further moment whence To linger this side of the gate And escape their morning fate They beckon to this dreamers eyes And plead that for one moment more Deny the truth which soundless lies Beyond the bounds of dreamings door
