The Garden Fairies

They are everywhere you know-
the Garden Fairies

Bits of dreams snagged
shaped
given wings and nice faces
blinking eyes
and pretty dresses

to go with the garden and woods

to charm and beguile
to hold onto hope knowing
that beauty is in every bloom
and breeze....
right now
bringing flavors of gardens
to brew

to charm and beguile

& they simply can't be contained.

The Garden Fairies frolic
slip past every wall
elude every boundary
flit through every barricade

they own air and space and time
and even punctuation

making moments longer
when we want to pause
