Immortal Fairy
On golden wings of light she rides
A beautiful creature to behold.
But cross her not
For no greater terror shall a man ever know
Than to anger the fairy of loves immortal throes.
She surveys her kingdom from clouds on high
Reaching dizzying heights.
She bestows upon those who choose to believe
Ardent days and fevered nights.
The fairy, she loves to share her gifts
For her kingdom she wants to grow
Wishing all of mankind could reside in this land evermore.
Yet we mere mortals take for granted, as we often do
The gifts given us by the fairy and it all begins to undo.
She tosses her head, her smile fades, her wings become more amber.
She is upset we’ve become mired in the details of daily life
We forgot the important things, and love begins to wander.
She sits on her throne, no longer pleased, crying tears of ice.
We simple people must appease the fairy and try to do what’s right.
Do not fret over daily details, strive to live in love’s light
Lovely poem! I especially like the meter and internal rhymes of this section:
