Soft moss a downy pillow makes, and green leaves spread a tent,
Where Faerie fold may rest and sleep until their night is spent.
The bluebird sings a lullaby, the firefly gives a light,
The twinkling stars are candles bright, Sleep, Faeries all, Good Night.
~Elizabeth T. Dillingham, “A Faery Song”
Transcendence can come upon us in the oddest places – a youth production of A Midsummer Night’s Dream many years ago bestowed a few such moments. Enlighten yourself at Travel Theme: Mystical.
This is a lovely post for the mystical theme….what’s not to love about sleeping fairies :-)
