Forest Faeries

Deep in forests of richest green
Faeries looked after trees
Seeds and nuts were collected 

broken branches repaired
Such Forest Faeries were rarely seen

For trees have magic
Faeries too
In green clouds of forest leaf
They took on every hue

As seasons changed
The Faerie colours changed too
For trees loved Faeries
And Faeries loved trees

The gentle swaying of branches
In a wind so light
In a land of summer bright
Deepest green
Tempered with golden sun
You cannot see
Where Faeries have been

When a branch breaks on a tree
Sit quietly
For a Faerie will come
And set it right

When night falls
In a Heartstone forest
Dozens of tiny lights
Begin their dance

Throughout the Magic Trees
At night
Faeries fly
If you listen carefully
If the wind is just right
You can hear Faerie song
