Unicorns and Fairies

“Unicorns and Fairies are the playmates of Angels.”


"When the first baby laughed for the first time, the laugh broke into a thousand pieces and they all went skipping about, and that was the beginning of fairies. And now when every new baby is born its first laugh becomes a fairy." 



"Of all the legendary animals of art, folklore and literature, the Unicorn is the one with the greatest hold on our imaginations. Other fabulous beasts are clearly inventions, existing only in a mythical landscape of our own collective creation. But the Unicorn strikes us as more than imaginary. It seems possible, even probable - a creature so likely that it ought to exist."

Guardians of the Night



Guardians of the Night

Trust in me my friend for I am
your comrade. I will protect you
with my last breath When all
others have left you And the
loneliness of the night closes
in, I will be at your side. 


Together we will conquer all
obstacles, And search out
those who might wish harm to
others. All I ask of you is
compassion, The caring touch
of your hands. It is for you that I
will unselfishly give my life And
spend my nights unrested.
Although our days together
May be marked by the passing
of the seasons Know that each
day at your side is my reward.

Morning Mist



Morning Mist Geese

Its rudder runs through the morning grass
In its wake, the dew a sea of tranquility; 
Its early gray aura taps at window panes
As to Morse code a waking message; 
It challenges the walking sun with playful scorn 
Softly, all living creatures come to life; 
The hues on nature’s landscape unfold
Brush-stroked by a master’s hand; 
Nightlights are extinguished one-by-one
As the sun attempts to peer through the glass; 
It creates hidden shadows for the nocturnal
To the meek-eyed, a bargaining plea; 
Advancing, it covers the streams and the lakes
As to see its own-misted reflection; 
Its content to be obscurely good
As it lofts upon the mountains; 
The morning breeze blows a gentle wind as to challenge
Its soft touch dissipates the mourning mist – their differences reconciled.
