Surrounding rocks strewn at will
Sprites gone with sunrise

Lacy elegance in white
snowy stars are dancing down
dancing, reeling little sprites
celebrating in wintry white gowns.

At Night I dream of Fairytales.
Of Sprites of the elements,
and en lightning spells.
Of Maidens of gold.
Forging the hearts in their touch
In silks creamy mold.
I dream. Bold. Much...

The winter fae have come to call,
Leaving snow where they go,
As dreams of spring were in our minds,
Frosty sprites said think again,
And visions of laughter lit the night.

I
Without computing Light Years (LY)
Rain could join Space-Time
For making accessible rainbows

II
I walked under - the greatest Arch
White-clad sprites streamed promises -
edible flavors, rainbow colors...

Shadows surround me in
    my den of iniquity
  Satanic sprites flit across walls
    faint traces of smoke inhabit the halls

  I draw forth my sword
    Lunge at the air
  Alas and alack ~
    I've laid my Muse bare...

Sun sprites fill my eyes
crystal brilliance synchronize
all my thoughts in Southern skies
sugar tasting wind~

Nerves of needle nights
condescend the Northern lights
as I turn to say good-bye
and make my way to him......

Moon is rising
Tides are changing
Cold winds howling
   Time doesn’t stop

Sound of Earth
Guide you north
Find your worth
   In the ether

Sprites they call
Dark entities fall
Spirit in all
   Therein lies omniscience...

Phantom ceiling squeaks
impish night owl’s egg and spoon 
race cancelled by ghost
thunder rolls startle 
mischievous sprites in a trance.
spine-tingling plot now unfolds at lightening speed
Milky Way spins an oafish chuckle....

The subtle beauty of the Aurora Borealis
     So stunning it almost takes your breath away
     An avalanche of quickly changing colors
     As if fairy sprites in delighted mischief play

How many years alot themselves
To fairies, sprites and elves?
The fewest number, flying fast—
For childhood flutters past.

Enchanted realms when you were small
Capitulate and fall;
Their palace guards of inch-high men
Seek graves in days of Then....

soft serene sunshine 
blows the chill pill Shimla-breeze ---
tranquilizing scenes 

soil soothing scent sprays 
fertilization flaunts free ---
pollans fly around 

butterflies flutter
sprites of spring seem to appear ---
snows into mist melt

Faeries and sprites flitting among the thistles and the daisies.
Sitting at the base of the violets, strumming easy listening guitars.
So, this is where the hippies go, observed a new arrival.
Understanding there are many levels of heaven.
And we gravitate to the one we relate to the hardest....

The porch light flickers with the power
Of a thousand watts of electricity 
Colorful visions swimming in darkness
Across our eyelids we see
Tiny sprites dancing in unison
And we're drawn together
Scalded as we touch
Like flies frozen in place
By the webs their lovers weave
We are moths to the flame...

To be alone in the dark
to dark deeds of demons hark.
Heart contrite nurtured by sprites,
fear not foes unseen,but fight,
to gain the gales of flight
of your soul uncaged divine,
and thank the Gods for man's flight.

Live in joy of heart's delight,
and fear not fights,but be kind.

Be strong,but not violent....

Beauty of mesmerizing white, at night
       Engrossed my sight,for it is very bright
       like a dazzling light,such a true delight.
    It's fragrance may invite,the pretty sprites
       to proceed straight , into secluded site
which is cool like moonlight and makes me write

tiny lanterns-
burning bright
in darkest watches
of the night
like elvish sprites-
come beckoning
although never-
truly reckoning
of children filled-
with summer rapture
intent upon-
a quest to capture
venting to-
the purpling skies
their excited-
and delighted cries
of fireflies!!,fireflies!!!...

Beyond the open places dwell
Lavender traces of mystic spells;
Unto the slumbering child they creep,
Entering softly as she sleeps.

Daylight hours are far away,
Reveling sprites reveal their plays
Emitting wisps of bashful blue
Amidst a sky of saphire hues;
Magic flees the breaking morn,
Slips of memory it adorns....

When a new life begins, many come to an end, steps forward on a trecherous path of being, 
sprites of luck light the way, yet impish chatter shoos them away, where is the light during 
the darkest of nights, where is my shadow in the pale moonlight, if the sun doth rise in the 
east, let my path head to the west; eternal summer....

Like shadows I shrink
when the earth tilts towards life
and struggles into long depressions 
when tilted into death.

Perhaps
I've listened too long
to the wisdom of gray sprites;
never going deeper
than the light

else

the darkness might steal 
my substance
and hoard it
in the lightless purse
of a moonless night....

As Midnight plays his haunting tunes,
The music drifting on the breeze,
The woodland creatures come to hear,
The moon eavesdrops behind the trees.

The magic fills the moonlit woods,
And tiny sprites and fairies dance.
He plays until the break of day,
When Sunrise joins in with her chants.
