I am clearly in my dream state
for sleep seemingly, appears
to happen, but before all that
comes story lines and tears
I talk through what seems relevant
and to some extent my fears
underneath my duvet
it seems to be for me
a place to concoct
and recall the
stories instantly
a little gloss of make believe
an eruption, of thoughts
all caught up in faerie land
and all that it supports
elfin glades and places
where little folk oft go
safe in the realms
of tufted toadstool
forests, and the glow
which purifies the faerie folk
as those about here know
cob webbed leggings do abound
and toadstool tufted too
it seems these latest wintry designs
are now on view
in forest glades the glow of evening
and those moonstruck spheres
are all the rage
amongst the faerie folk
so it appears
behold the cauldrons bubbling
filled with the wintry stew
of nuts and seeds and birch sap wine
and pickled flower buds too
and all around their villages
hang peacock feathers and
holly berries and mistle feet
which do look rather grand
The Old man’s beard
climbs through the hedge rows where
masses of it grow
it looks a bit like cotton wool
grey coloured, to and fro
it dances, in December’s windswept vista’s
to be sure
but the human people miss its gallant efforts
to restore
some semblance of floral worth,
they all drive on their way
hardly ever noticing
the floral balls of grey
that float and edge
and dance and sweep
they have no time it seems
they seem to miss
the extraordinary world
of winters salient dreams
