FAIRY DOOR AND MORE

 FAIRY DOOR AND MORE

Down through the brambles

where most folk never go

you'll see a crooked path

leading to a secret place I know..

It's not a place for mortals

at least not any more

but if you're very lucky

you'll see a magic door.

You have to tread so carefully

and be gentle with each footfall

or you'll never feel the magic 

or see a soul at all..

Just sit quietly by the wooden gate

looking at the wise old tree

you may just be the one who's lucky

and fairies you might see.

The door's not always open

for the fairies come and go

but be patient and believe

and maybe then the door will show.

For it's within this tree of wisdom

that the fairies do appear

but only on occasions

and for those without all fear.

'tis said that wishes may be granted

if a secret you can keep

and you never tell a soul

where the fairies often sleep.

We all do need our dreamtime

it's such a lovely state

..but did I really see some fairies

or was I reading books too late.
