Honeysuckle
(Sept-Dec 09)
Tender trumpets of sweetest
honey wind their vines up garden walls,
sharing their essence with birds and bees,
bringing contentment to one and all.
1.
Silken Spells
This
fairy loves to whirl and pirouette on
the finest of cobweb silk, especially
when moonbeams reflect their rainbow colours
all around her gossamer wings. After her
dancing is done, the wind carries her
home on a playful breeze. Each miracle
of nature's beauty fills her heart with
joy.
2. Masque of Love
Having danced
the night away she can pretend no more.
Struck by Cupids arrow she coyly comes
out from behind her mask of peacock feathers
to reveal herself for the first time to
her masked partner. Having only been able
to look into each others eyes ( the windows
of the soul ) she knows their feelings
for each other are true, and uncomplicated
by physical appearance. How can she resist
when surrounded by the hypnotic perfume
of love.
3.
An Even Smaller World
At the bottom of an enchanted garden,
an inquisitive fairy child peeps into
a convolvulus flower only to discover
a wondrous
new world where the inhabitants are even
smaller than she. Inside the blossom,
the mermaid and woman are immersed in
their own little universe, completely
unaware of their fairy spectator.Like
these enchanted beings, we are living
in our own little world within other worlds,
and what is large and small ultimately
depends on how we look at life.
4. Freedom
For many years people viewed the rocky
outcrop and wondered at it’s powerful
similarity to an eagle. Little did they
know that one day the mighty eagle would
break free from it’s rocky bonds,
aided by a mighty spirit of nature. With
convulvulus hair and a dress of daisies
the spirit leads the mighty bird on a
quest for freedom.
5.
Andromeda's Quest
Andromedia sails away in her magical galleon
in search of adventure beyond earthly
boundaries to worlds beyond the stars.
As she travels she listens to the strange
and haunting sounds of flower music emitting
from her gramophone, spreading "Morning
Glory" in her wake and creating rainbow
butterflies. As the cosmic currents waft
through the sails they portray a vision
of other lands to be discovered in other
dimensions.
6.
The Forest Fairy
In a sunlit glade, far from human sight
the wood fairy happily gathers wild anemones.
Full of the joys of spring, she adores
the suns warm rays and delights in the
freedom of Nature's woodland bounty.
7.
The Three Graces
Three inseparable sisters –
daughters of Zeus, representing all that
is noble, beautiful and pure, keep watch
from above. Aglaia (brightness) symbolised
by brightly coloured butterflies, Euphrosyne
(joyfulness) symbolised by the joyful
sound of birdsong, and Thalia (bloom)
symbolised by a headdress of flowers.
Above
all they were goddesses, noble of grace,
and a beauty which enchants. Their hair
and faces shine with radiant beauty, looking
down from Mount Olympus.
8. Dreams of Atlantis
As the graceful mermaid sleeps in the
watery depths of her ocean grotto, she
is enveloped in a sea of dreams. In them
she sees the shimmering towers of the
mythical city of Atlantis, guarded by
the powerful King Neptune as he brandishes
his trident to ward off unwelcome visitors.
But
the gentle mermaid knows in her heart
that she is welcome in this magical kingdom
where she is free to frolic with the playful
dolphins and wave at the sea chariots
drawn past her by horses of the sea .
9. Waiting
In the land of the midnight water lily,
the maiden eagerly awaits the arrival
of a mysterious galleon. As it enters
the flowerlit bay she wonders what bounty
it carries. Will it be laden with exotic
gifts from a far off land, or maybe this
time a gallant lover to whisk her away
to faraway places for adventures untold.
How long has she been waiting for this
moment? In her world time has no meaning,
it may have been minutes or years..!!
10. Heart and Soul
The butterfly maiden looks inquiringly
up at the heavens, soul-searching as she
watches the clouds form layer upon layer
of strange and wonderful lands.Beneath
her multicoloured, gossamer headdress
beats the heart of a lion offering strength
to the gentle souls in flight.A swirl
of flowers forming a garland around the
"Queen of the Jungle", gradually
blends into sea and stars.This transitional
plane is the meeting place between the
butterfly's ethereal and gentle world
and the lion's proud and powerful domain.
The outcome of this meeting is a perfect
blend for life.
11.
The Spirit of Flight
The
Spirit of Flight, the force responsible
for the powers of movement of the wind
and air, has gathered around her all the
flying things she loves. Birds, insects,
flying fish, swirling leaves, seeds of
dandelions and sycamore trees, butterflies
and fairies all dance around her in a
grand array of wild free motion.
12.
Snow Queen
In the glow of the Aurora
Borealis, her hair adorned with snowflakes
and ivy, she glances over her shoulder
to gaze at the wintry world unfolding.
As her cloak of snow flakes billows out
behind her the magic of the season is
revealed. Arctic creatures revel in their
world of white and a sleigh dashes past
on an adventure in this winter wonderland.
Down below a mischievous boy pitches a
snowball towards a group of singers heralding
in the joy of the yuletide season.
