~The Time Between Times~

This poem was my first attempt at free verse. With Kevin Kern playing in the background, this is what flowed from the pen....
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Fleeting ever, Lost in heather
Where can it be, No one to see
Faeries dance, Make romance
Emeralds sparkle, While faeries chuckle
Little ones sleep, While stars wink
Faeries twirling, Moon whirling
Flowers sigh, As changelings go by
Willow bends, As time suspends
Summer air weaves, As faeries dance in the leaves
The High King proceeds, As he walks through the trees
Moon beams splay, On the delicate array
Tinkling of glasses, And the swooshing of classes
Tender sighs, Love lullabies
Slim reeds, Dance in the breeze
Time stands still, For good or for ill
Where can it be, No one to see
Flower decorations, For clothing creations
Starlight, Keeps faeries alight
Graceful sways, Moonlight obeys
Feathers wave, Faeries parade
Rolling hills, Over heather spills
Faeries glow with light, High King takes delight
Wings flutter, voices meld like butter
Music rises, No compromises
The High King's procession, To make a decision
Wife to be, Who will it be
Breath catches, Neck stretches
The High King splendidly arrayed, For this midnight parade
Searches the crowd, All bowed
White gold glitters, Catches eye to shimmer
Air is still, For good or for ill
Eyes meet, Acknowledge and greet
The King has found his bride, Faerie realm now to survive
Outstretched hand, Unspoken demand
She places hers in his, For true love this is
Faeries to rejoice, For she has made her choice
The King smiles at his beloved, She smiles - oh, how she loves it!
Royal blue eyes meet palest of green, sparks fly in between
For a year and a day, The celebration will be under way
Love and laughter reign, Till spring is here again
A wedding to proclaim, One to take a name
Say the vows, Turn to greet the bows
Light hearts all, Even the small
Forever and a day, They will stay
