Out of the Night
Out of the Night
Oh, what mystical magic hides within the woods
from cracking of timber
and the mysteries concealed behind the bark?
Where fairies and elves live in obscurity within the green belt
in a tilting of seasons that brings blossoms to bloom
while on fresh butterfly trails
their dreams of strange
forever rejoicing in nature's beauty
on the winds of transformation.
Below a polka dot sky
where each star brands a light hidden in heavens haze
which cast their world from darkness
to a brilliant forest of sea green.
As the fireflies brighten the eve
in passions of flickering within the emerald pines
where elves dance to the fiddler's highland jig
in the festive feast of the night.
While the fairies spill their magic dust upon the air
bonding all living things within the mystical forest
under a numinous spell of elves.
As a new dawn awakes from the night of enchantment
where fairies and elves come together in flowering love
creating a new generation of God's children
known now as the hobbits
bringing siblings of change
descending into the evolution of man.
