Poem – My Fairy Self

In another lifetime, I am sure I protected the trees.
I can feel the fairy part of myself with great ease.
She sat on the mossy branches of the grandfathers of old.
She listened to the songs that the wind foretold.

She sang to the trees of her protection and love.
The land was perfectly connected to the skies above.
She loved each day as it magically did unfold.
She cared for all life and was the healer that consoled.

She smiled as the rain dripped down from the sky.
She conversed with the creatures as they passed on by.
She loved her life until the times of men appeared.
And all they could see was to cut until the land was cleared.

She hid in secret places that were hard for men to find.
She practiced the enchantments that would keep men blind.
She had to protect the grandfathers of old.
She still keeps many secrets that still have not been told.
