Restless light sleep as I toss in the humid night air. Wondering what is tugging at my dreams and pulling me awake. I quietly plod to the bathroom, but for some reason do not turn on the light. My eyes adjust to the velvet night outside the window, and I see it. Magical fairies dancing in the branches of the trees with their lanterns. They climb and climb and climb until they are at the very top against the black silhouette of heavy leaves. This celebration is what must have woke me.
My granddaughter wants to be a fairy when she grows up. We hate for someone to tell her it’s not possible. She sees them too.
ReplyDeleteFireflies are one of natures greatest wonders.
ReplyDeletePrecious, fairy goings in your garden, love it Tabor.
ReplyDeleteI saw a few here the other night.
ReplyDeleteIf we have fairies here I have never been able to see them. Maybe I am just not woke to them.
ReplyDeleteMe too
ReplyDeletebelieve in Fairies and all wonderful things that fill our wood..
A spiritual trip to the window at night. I suppose many things wake us up in the night!
ReplyDeleteDancing fireflies can light the way for the wee folk. Such a lovely show would be worth catching.
ReplyDeleteWatching masses of fireflies can feel like drinking magic through a heart straw.
ReplyDeleteI think they want you to see them.
Of course it did. Such joy would wake anyone.
ReplyDeleteI see them! I see them!! What a delightful sight to awaken to.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a warm, fuzzy feeling of wonder !
ReplyDeleteNone of those here yet. At least we have leaves! Would be nice to get over 65F again tho! Been a very damp n cool week here. Needed the heavy coat again the other day.
That wedding trip to CA came at a good weather time!
