Now... which way, which way ... hmmm Up I think.
Hannah’s Song
In all my endless struggle, to try to find The Key, I never once had turned to Fae - though They had beckoned me.
Then one day She took my hand – A Pilgrimage to make – and there encountered Fairy Folk on shores of distant lake.
We traveled first to Sacred Lands, in northern mountains high – to touch the Wheel that always was, before her time was nigh.
Her cheeks were full of roses, her eyes had captured sky – and in that Ancient Circle, two locks of hair were tied.
Then down through primal forest, unmolested, undisturbed - The beauty there so wondrous, no sound of human heard.
And to the Shores of distant lake, for here she needed rest - Though I had thought the journey done, for her but one more quest.
Then in the evenings last, from across the lake a gale – each of our fellow travelers did sleep exactly where they fell.
As Spirit Wind blew fiercely, Traveller’s Wagon’s circled round - and when the Wind was silenced, another Place for Her was found.
Before the Door was opened, and long into the night… we spoke about Her Crossing, no reason now to fight. We spoke of happy things and sadness, of a death of body young - of departure from her daughter and all the Song’s still left for her unsung.
In her was such a Beauty. No sighs, remorse or grief – just the wonderment of a gentle child and innocent belief.
Far into that quiet night, a movement - caught within our glance - We noticed our surroundings like wakened from a trance.
For in a Fairy Circle Fair, did she sit with me – Surrounded quite completely by Seven Ancient Tree’s.
Dim behind them mists were stirring, where the Wagons once had stood - And Archways of such beauty formed, within the silent Wood.
With brilliant Light of purple, each Arch became a Door – You see, The Veil was parting – for this gentle girl.
A Gift they brought for Hannah, and because her heart was pure - To the Circle came the Fairy Folk - for garb was Love They wore.
Far into the Nether Realm, her Spirit’s Song was heard – and entered now The Circle, with lips They Spoke no word.
Deep into her heart they gazed, where true Belief was seen - The Gift they brought for Hannah – to meet the Fairy King.
Now, you may scoff this story, but every word is true - Belief is easily spoken, but felt by very few.
The Fairy Folk are real you see. Not legend, myth or tale - I saw them take her hand and dance, within the misty Veil.
