The Faeries that Save Me
A Poem.
Her eyes are weary
they beg for sleep
but words on the page
shout “please, stay awake!”
As they hear her soul weep
while she begs for heat,
the cold seeping into her bones.
So she falls between the binds
in hopes that someone might find her
and remind her what it is to
Be.
They come from strange worlds
and different times
striking a novel chord
on each line,
Why?
To save her from the wraiths
that lie in wait for the moments
where nothing can abate
the screaming in her mind
that no one can recognize.
They sail through the screen
dancing enticingly, beckoning
her to follow and weave through
the fabric of fantasy where
she feels like me again.
I am free.
And when I leave
the light is with me.
