Faery
Trixies Poems
Author: Judith Williams
A fairy girl once came to me, as I slept, or so I
thought
She took my hand, and drew me up, whispering
secrets I had sought
Oh, heart of hearts, dream of dreams, love of
loves
Why am I enchanted so, lost in these starlight
streams?
Can I be a mere person? a mortal lady? Is it true?
I feel so much like a fairy, and I wish to dance
with you
She examined me more closely, sprinkling dust into
my hair
You're not so different from me, you know, look
closer if you dare.
"My eyes, can you see in them, the little fairy
girl inside?
Can you come and hide and seek with me? Give me a
piggy back ride?
Don't talk, just quietly listen, and I'll tell you
something sweet
When you walk this close to a fairy, you suddenly
lose your feet!"
Just let it happen, don't be afraid, there's
nothing here to fear
I'll carry you on my wings, sweet friend, you
don't even have to steer!
I'll show you many secrets here, the things we
hold so dear
We only share these special things with ones that
will truly hear."
"Look down now at the world below, doesn't it make
you want to laugh?
They think they know it all...but they really
don't know half
We are the real ones, the special fairies and the
elves
We can choose to be real, or to sit there, glass
trinkets on their shelves!"
Such foolish ones, the humans, thinking we are
only from a silly tale
I fear for them, you know. They do not know
they're doomed to fail
I caution you, my friend, not to speak of this
magical place
For if you do, your enchantment will die! We will
disappear without a trace!"
I flew with her all night, it seemed, and
treasured all there shown
I awoke the next morning, feeling so strangely
aware of places I had flown
Remembering in secret, my midnight flight,
enchanted by a fairy queen,
Never telling a soul, I am blessed to return to
"places I've never been"
Now and then, she still visits me, happily flying
around the room
Sometimes I see her hiding, deep inside the
mushrooms
She giggles in her childlike way, calling me back
to her land of the wee
I wonder sometimes, if it is only a dream, or if
it is true that she is me

A SEASON, OR A
LIFETIME?
Pay attention to what
you read. After you read this, you will know the reason it was
sent to you! People come into your life for a reason, a season or
a lifetime. When you figure out which one it is, you will know
what to do for each person.
When someone is in your life
for a Reason . . . It is usually to meet a need you have
expressed. They have come to assist you through a difficulty, to
provide you with guidance and support, to aid you physically,
emotionally, or spiritually. They may seem like a godsend, and
they are! They are there for the reason you need them to be. Then,
without any wrongdoing on your part, or at an inconvenient time,
this person will say or do something to bring the relationship to
an end. Sometimes they die. Sometimes they walk away. Sometimes
they act up and force you to take a stand. What we must realize is
that our need has been met, our desire fulfilled, their work is
done. The prayer you sent up has been answered. And now it is
time to move on.
Then
people come into your life for a Season . Because your turn has
come to share, grow, or learn. They bring you an experience of
peace, or make you laugh. They may teach you something you have
never done. They usually give you an unbelievable amount of joy.
Believe it! It is real! But, only for a season.
Lifetime relationships teach you lifetime
lessons: things you must build upon in order to have a solid
emotional foundation. Your job is to accept the lesson, love the
person, and put what you have learned to use in all other
relationships and areas of your life. It is said that love is
blind but friendship is clairvoyant.
Thank you for being a
part of my life.
Work like
you don't need the money.
Love like you've never
been hurt.
And dance like no one is
watching.
