Stellar Folk


just before the sun goes down

the hidden folk start to play

they dance around like flashing stars

in celebration of the end of day

they dance and sing in glee with joy

in anticipation for what comes their way

they love the time of the fading light

and with gratitude they hide away

silence calls just one more time

then the stellar folk fly away

    Don’t go into the wood at night…You may not come away….
    May not be how it goes but I do remember hearing it.

      That sounds familiar to me, Beverly, but the one I keep thinking of involves ‘today’ and a ‘surprise’! 😀

    Reminds me of what was at the bottom of the garden in my childhood home in Plymouth. I wonder if the houses I made them are still there?!!

      They will be, Becky, although they may be in the next dimension along.
