River Faeries

As the valley slumbered through the deepest night
Reveries courting romance
The Faeries gathered with giggly delight
To commence with their wintry dance

Sheened in a shivering icy glow
To frost the land as they swayed
While violin strains emanated below
Ancestral music softly played.

Faeries flitting with flurry to dust the bare trees
Haunting sounds the river does swoon
Twirling and swirling together with glee
Under the slivery shine of the moon.

Silence arrives with the pale pink sky
Shadows are kept at bay
Shimmering tipped branches reach on high
Captured by the light of the new day.

Peace and tranquility has dusted the land
Faeries are content little things
But the river in charge sends out a command
To listen to the words it does sing.

Wake up! Be aware of the stories I share
You people who live by the shore.
Fear not my friend, don’t carry despair
I bring warm tidings of comforting lore.
