When doors are locked
and darkness cloaks the autumn sky
When we are tucked
in sleepy beds, the fairies fly.
They think we mor-
tals will not wake to see their way
But leafy por-
tals open to reveal the fay.
And if our eyes
can focus past this earthly night
We’ll catch a glimpse
Of starlit dancing in plain sight.
While some may feel
afraid to dally with romance
Some curious few
Spread silken wings and join the dance.
