Wood Fairies There Often Play

Wood Fairies There Often Play



Deep in that far wooded glen
was a place made for men
Was not so easily found
complete with Nature sound

Comfort for man and beast
just a mile northeast
Great to rest my soul there
peacefulness makes me aware

Wood fairies there often play
stacking rocks in my way
A test to see me step aside
watching from where they hide

Daring to find resting sleep
my soul they try to keep
No malice,just a loving desire
to share their eternal fire

Each visit I must bid adieu
with a, "so sad to leave you"
My friends of the wooded glen
thanks for allowing me in

Always this is the sweet reply
see you in the by and by
You are most welcomed any time
our uniting is most sublime

Each Spring my trek begins
to again see my little friends
As I slowly walk my way in
I marvel at this far wooded glen

G'day Robert... over time I have had a haven of paradise at different locations where life appeared surreal and I expected to see the unexpected. Thank you Robert for taking me back in time - Lindsay

Such places exist and one not only feel it but see it as one enters. I found one as a child about age 9 but since then its been destroyed, cut down to make farmland. This place still endures. Thanks for commenting.

This is a lovely rhyme! Magical, mystical, enchanted fairy tale of a write. Perhaps you were writing of something more deep that I couldn't grasp. Either way, loved the write!
