Silver Sands

Far away beyond
our visions of sight,
Alive with the secrets
of grand delight.
Beneath the green-gold
and mossy ground,
Is where a magickal
kingdom is found.

Each creature is said
to have beautiful wings,
They can really create
the most wonderful things.
Floating and flying
like in faerie tale lore,
But truthfully speaking
there's so very much more.

They all have two pouches
one on each side,
That is where some of those
secrets abide.
They'll fill up their pouches
from faraway lands,
Known only to them
as the Silver Sands.

Into every window
the faerie's will creep,
To find every child
all sound asleep.
They'll kiss all the children
with a sprinkle of sand,
And that's how the story
of the sandman began.

Dear Sally,

I had to laugh at myself because, just from the opening verse....oh I knew I was in for a treat!!!! I imagined me and my kids (if I had any, lol) fighting for the couch to watch your story : Aww, this was fantabulous Sally. The story, the imagery, the flow, perfect sequence, word selection, rhythm, and rhyme. Beautifully executed Sally!!!!! I love your poetry as I have stated its warming, good medicine, has a homey quality, memorable messages, and some, like this has a fabulous mystical element to it. Those last two lines----->And that's how the story of the sandman began, IS CLASSIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Woooohoooo!!!! Loved it Sally, and thank you for sharing!!
