Flight Of The Fairies
 

       Old woman rises from her slumber
       Earlier than the sun
       Sleep; an infrequent visitor in her world

       She feels the burden of her world, heavy in her bones
       Gently brushing a strand of silvery gray out of her eyes
       She labors to unsteady feet

       Slowly she makes her way to her window
       To watch the moon shimmer upon the lake
       She sees Them gently fluttering, awaiting the sunrise

       Calling to her, beckoning her to join them
       She pulls her robe tight about her, making her way 
       outside along the shore
       They are waiting for her there: The Otherkin

       No cold wind does she feel,
       Aches and pains forgotten
       She sits upon the damp grass as they dance for her

       They land softly upon gnarled hands
       Beauty and age in stark contrast
       They whisper to her , beckoning her to join them

       She closes her eyes and flies with them
       Over miles, years, time, space
       Their music fills her heart and soul; she smiles

       Once more she is with him; love of her life
       From oh so long ago
       Their music fills her heart and soul

       Tonight she joins Them
       The pain and fetters of age fall from her
       She is young again; she is with him

       The sun rises casting its yellow glow
       Upon the lifeless figure of an old woman
       Morning breeze gently lifting her silver strands

       Peeking from a rosebud nearby
       They sing; hand in hand
       Together again
