A Secret Place of Ancient Wonder

Come and take yourself away
From the grind and the cares of the world
Dance and revel in the beauty
The flow of life and laughter
Frisk among the trees so dappled green
Swinging vines, soar once more
Free as a bird on the wing
Play with us upon the air
We, fairies of gossamer diaphanous wings
Flitting through the aerospace
Release your tired aching soul
To the pure ecstasy of joy
Skip over the babbling brooks
Sinuous streams of glorious melody
Surge over waterfalls, roaring in your ears
Down through the burrows of
The wee folk gamboling, piping,
Swaying with the enticing throb
Beasts of pure intent, no concern
Come to meet you now, as you draw near
Now unicorns and griffins,
Eloquent animals in a diverse throng
Meeting, greeting, begging to play
Assemble now the elfin brethren
Rich colors on vibrant display
Drawing you into the pounding circle
Drum beat fueling blood, heart rockets
True home found at last
Off again to explore a weald
Unlike any before chartered
Come now, deeper in, feel the magic within
Fireflies lazily hovering in groups
Like the millions of stars glowing
Through the thick canopy of boughs above
Within the dwelling of the fay
High up in the trees, intricate designs
Gracing every such one you see
Natural and developed into art
The basis of every being's habitation
Nothing artificial in this forest
Magic woven, spirit called
A secret place of ancient wonder.
