The Fairy Queen

Within the moonlit forest,
where seldom people roam,
an old and weary traveller
stands miles away from home
Preparing his bestowal
of energy and light,
he chooses his direction
and sets out through the night

Through wilderness uncharted,
the pilgrimage is made,
drawn by the need for contact
with hearts closely arrayed
His folklore destination,
enchanted and serene,
is home to those in mourning
for the dying Fairy Queen

He knows what lies in waiting
Is fashioned to deny —
A mindset concentrating
against unclouded eyes
And still, his strong devotion
is driven by desire
to place the mind in motion
and set the heart afire

A timeless dance commences
in some hypnotic state;
enchantment of the senses
beguiling the innate
An active mind ignited
to conjure from a dream
and give the unrequited
unto the Fairy Queen

Once in the wildwood's center,
the sage cuts short his pace
The barrier against him
enshrouds this sacred place
The nymphs allow no trespass
into their untouched state
The winds of change won't blow here
and won't disturb their fates

But something underlying
is stealing their control
The Fairy Queen lies dying,
plagued by a stricken soul
A dulcet incantation
is answering her call,
ending her asphyxiation
and breaking down their wall

A timeless dance commences
in some hypnotic state;
enchantment of the senses
beguiling the innate
An active mind ignited
to conjure from a dream
and give the unrequited
unto the Fairy Queen

The sovereign lass, awakened,
illuminates the night
And with his wisdom taken
she soon regains her sight
Rescued from a fate so tragic
As she takes to the skies,
he'll give to her his magic
and vanish from her eyes

A timeless dance commences
in some hypnotic state;
enchantment of the senses
beguiling the innate
An active mind ignited
to conjure from a dream
and give the unrequited
unto his Fairy Queen
