Faeries in the Backyard

by Celestial Melody

1 Rating, 0 Likes, 2 Favorites )

Do you believe in faeries in the backyard? Do you almost hear the soft, mocking tinkle of bell-like laughter when you trip on a loose stone in a meandering garden path? Could you swear you felt the whirring flutter of filmy wings caress your shoulder on that fragrant spring evening … or was it just the wisteria-scented, billowing breeze? Do eyes—angled eyes, dewy eyes, envious eyes, curious eyes—watch you in the garden? Does a glimmer of light, caught in the creased corner of your eye, make you gasp and turn quickly, face searching and open, hands frozen in mid-movement, waiting, seeking a glimpse of the bright, evasive mystery.
