Where magic exists and fairies are born.
You must first close your eyes and open your heart
Only then will your wonderful journey start.
Though everything seems misty, try not to stare
If you look much too closely nothing will be there.
The air is so cool, yet incredibly still...
Like something's to happen and probably will.
You stop breathing to notice there's not a sound to be heard
Not a tree in the wind- not the song of a bird.
On your cheek you feel the sweet breath of warm air
And you turn to find the Unicorn standing there.
For a moment you stare right into his eyes
He is old and he is young and he is very, very wise.
You swear to keep the secret of all these magical things
And then you are invited to try some fairy wings.
Beams of sun break through the clouds as if by his command
And then you see a fairy who takes you by the hand.
Her hair is golden swirling curls sparkling with dew.
Her dress is like white taffeta flecked with bits of blue.
They take you through a thick of woods til a clearing you can spy
You blink your eyes in disbelief as petals swirl down from the sky.
The air is sweet with many things
You turn to notice you have fairy wings!
To the lillies you go upon his back, as you go to deliver dew
Though this is something you've never done, It's something you always knew.
Though no time passes, the day is done
You sadly turn to see the setting of the sun.
And so you wake in your bed, hair still sparkling with dew
With memories of secret things...on fairy wings you flew...
