The Fairies
She appeared in the haze of early afternoon..
like an apparition of angelic presence, in fabrics of darkness centralized by a band of stripes.
... Her teeth glinting...
The straight white columns of twin towers drawing my eyes to the horizon rising high above.
Pillars of soft marble, smooth and glistening beneath the sunset..

perfect symmetry being recognized instantly within the inner realms.
.. Emitting the condition of Almonds, so sweet to cloud the mind...
Confident of life, unaware of the power, the Flower Show by her side
in parallel lines of entwined danger,. dark eyes slanting,..
Jump! in fright at the sudden touch.
Not sure why they are here, unsure of the future, they scan and test the boundaries,
Alien Visitors to me.. close encounters of the 4th kind..
transportation to the unknown.. the Heavens await...
Today,
it starts again.. their ship lands quietly and suddenly.
The Sirens sweetly singing voices like Tractor Beams.
The Alien language is easier to understand over the times of their visits,
though the Asteroids are as dangerous as ever
with the ability to destroy my ship.
I have never been able to fill my ears with the wax
which will blank out their Almond voices, and so, like Ulysses
I struggle, alone,.. bound to the Mast...
So....

Here I am, beneath the mysterious beauty of this overhanging strangeness,
the Mushroom which shelters me.
The Fairies dance with me now, so beautiful to watch.
No one may ever release them from their scented undergrowth
and let them fly to the Buttercups overflowing with rainwater..
rainwater so pure, recycled through atmospheres for Millennia ...
The process,
the mountain stream,
the clouds,
Flowing through rockface minerals..
matching Atomic structures Universal throughout life,
the liquid glass of medicinal Love..
flowering in Atoms of Light.
I have entered their domain,
I am uncontaminated, they allow me in therefore.
To remain uncontaminated is difficult, but possible...
I know that soon, they too shall inherit the restricting compression of the outer world,
their Armour so heavy it dulls the wings ...
... Nothing so sad, than to see the Fairy that no longer can fly .....
