Purple Dreams In Other Realms
Once upon a magical evening an enchanted fairy I happened to see
dressed in a fantastical dress with two dappled wings of lace,
she shone like the midnight sun;
I must confess, she looked rather whimsical
sitting there by a green wooden door, waiting for your lore !
I wondered aloud “how has she found me”
A whisper answered “I have not found you, you have found me”.
“yet it is you who are sitting patiently at my door” said I
But let us not quarrel over who is seeker or finder
Let us ponder the depth of the distant purple moon
A somewhat quizzically smirkish grin tickled her face
As if she were the teacher and I the unsuspecting student
She gazed at the purple shrouded moon
Wondered aloud “why does the darkness paint the clouds”
I suggested the answer might be found in her dreams
“But you must come with me into this dream
For I am a fairy and easily swayed by the winds”
“Then we must open the weathered wooden door
For it is the place of the keeper of the dreams”
I flinched when she said “let us close our eyes and enter”
She slipped her wings past the creaking door
“we will be safe” she whispered “for they are my dreams”
A sun shone in the distance, dark clouds crested a mountain
A butterfly alit on her shoulder shouting
“She is all grown up, she has come home”
A great flurry of wings encased her as she giggled
Laughingly shouting “you are the voices of my dreams”
A soft voice rolled out of the distant mountains saying”
“and you the dream that touches the hearts of children
When the purple darkness paints the clouds”
