An Unexpected Journey

The problem with the Land of Faerie (the imaginative realm) is that it takes you. You may begin innocently by following a garden gnome scurrying between the carrots leaves, only to see him mount his trusty snail and take you through misty, sideways paths, until you’re caught up in a tale much bigger than you could have imagined, where the perils and the beauties surpass your wildest dreams.

Before you know it you may find yourself under an enchantment that calls you back at any hour, until your quest is completed or you feel hollow at having failed.

Silent Veil

Through each of us there runs a silent veil
A window which no mortal eyes see through
Behind which lies our inner faerie tale
Our endless worlds there hid from common view

And oft we do feel hidden in our caves
Beneath the lonely mountains of our soul
A magic realm, yet lonely as a grave
A half of what should surely be a whole

Until a burning fire doth transcend 
That barrier that only love can cross
For those who only seek for their own ends
Will never know the beauty they have lost

And when you find one faithful, kind, and true
Your inner worlds shall meet and grow anew
