Fairy Sightings

Post by bags123 » Mon Jun 14, 2010 5:59 am

Fairy Sightings

I've explored the dark recesses
where they've been hiding
Deeply under old sod
Neath the cold barrow mound

Where the bones of my ancestors
long have been planted
Gently moved by each prod
from the worms below ground

But the Fey have a way
of remaining immortal,
and despite Jesus adjunct
to be born again

They remain just the same,
as the first time I saw them
Long before I debunked
what I couldn't explain

Now these sightings have grown
more or less,... not as often,
and I wonder if fantasy
comes into play

When I see what I've seen
and my reason has softened
from the sight of these fairies
who won't go away.
I prefer to keep an open mind,....but not so much that my brains fall out.- Carl Sagan
Your brain is like an umbrella. It only works when it's open- Someone Smart

This is a fantastic read bags. I really like the way you put things. How interesting that something so small and fragile as fairies can soften a mans reason. The things we experience that we can not explain.... some of the best thigns have no explanation... they simply are and thats the way it should be.

This is either a recount or another look at a topic you've written about before... the faeries in our yard seem to have gone on a sabbatical these past few years.
