“Come faeries, take me out of this dull world, for I would ride with you upon the wind and dance upon the mountains like a flame.” William Butler Yeats
If I could explain the reason why I’m drawn away from life
And choose instead to spend my time
Alone inside my head
Then you would know as well as I
And this would be no riddle.
Yet I would love to know why dreams seem so real
And life appears as seen through veil
And magic dust and fairies fly round my head and bed
When the man in the moon is talking quietly with the lady in the stars
And the wizard of old, Yes Merlin
Is walking the earth once more.
I’m traveling along old country lanes
With wise old Merlin by my side
And I listen and learn the secrets of old
Of shape shifters, fairies, the old folk and more
And when neath the hawthorn we stop for a rest,
The wild hunt gathers and flies round us merry bent
For mischief and mayhem and stories oft sent
To frighten the fearful and travelers of Ghent.
Then unto the morning the hours have rolled by
And the magic and wonder of the fairies do fly
Deep into memory til I can see them once more
When my heart is unburdened and my eyes no longer obscured.
There neath the bushes a fairy ring I spy
And as I lay down inside it I know we can fly
Old Merlin and fairies, and Owls, Wolf and Lynx
Pan and the wild hunt, round the moon’s halo once more.
If I could…. If I only could…. then I surely would.
(But then I know I can!)

“My body slid from human to wolf in a crack! of black smoke. Wolf was panting and I watched frost dissipate on my hot tongue, sending tiny rivulets of steam into the air. The world was sharp and clear, and I never realized how many different colors of shadow there were. It made me savor the dark beauty of night even more.” ― Heather Heffner, Year of the Wolf
There are more things to heaven and earth than we dreamed possible. Only by dreaming and believing will we see that anything is possible.
