Fairies Of The Twilight Dance

Fairies Of The Twilight Dance

By Paul McCann

Do you believe in magic places where wishes can come true and time stands still . Please continue to read on and find yourself part of a once upon a time in an enchanted time , between somewhere and nowhere , there was a garden where wishes came true . It all began when the little caterpillars crept inside their cocoons and wished they could fly .
As small buds on the trees and flowers wished for some colours the butterflies flew out of their cocoons and landed on the buds where flowers began to bloom .

The summer breeze whispered to the butterflies ,
“You’ve a magic touch at your feet “
Other butterflies came from sunset skies far away, brought by the summer breeze and their wings were fluttering like flaming stars that touched the night in a flight to the sun looking for a new day that seemed so far away ,
Then a kiss from heaven touched the night from a distant height and the butterflies were able to break free and they fell like falling flames in a sunset rain , a free falling fire of heavenly light .
The butterflies and dragonflies descended down upon the ground all
around the secret garden bringing insight and truth in colourful displays on the mystical pathways where with burning eyes they soared here and there uo in the air and around the stream in the darkest night to places where they had never been .

The queen of the stream called out ,
“Don’t fly away too far my friendly butterflies and dear dragonflies for I’d fear losing you from my sight “

They flew through the night like wild fires , feeding the darkness until the night was gone and the new day arrived and the butterflies came with beautiful wings of wisdoms right giving them a presence of new life .
The butterflies enjoyed fluttering here and there , however they wished that they could dance and so in the light of the sunrise, when sunbeams came streaking through the clouds , in between the blossom trees and flowers , the dream weavers were at work collecting wishes and dreams and now on their way they went carrying the wishes that the butterflies had made .

Upwards and onwards and over the bridge and down memory lane to where life once began they brought the butterflies wishes to the castle of the King who granted the butterflies wishes and the ballerina butterflies began to dance for all who were there in the secret garden .
Seldom had anyone ever seen a butterfly dance but now for the very first time it was happening .. As the butterflies danced in the secret garden they folded back their wings and became fairy like creatures with the gift of graceful steps upon on their feet , There was sweet music that blew in on a breeze and the fairies began to dance on the mystical pathways around the secret garden where time stood still around the pools where liquid sunshine had fallen from the sky .

The ballerina butterflies danced until twilight came in the garden filled with colour and light . In a hovering way, they put on a disarming display and danced to the king who makes wishes come true . The King arrived on the wings of a swan in flight just before twilight came . He was dressed in a robe with the dewdrops of dawn and the sparkle of the stars that shone all around the secret garden .
Everyone came to see the ballerina butterflies perform and oh how distinguished were those debutantes in the secret garden of the king .
There were many secrets that were shared as the butterflies danced at the twilight before the end of the day . Even the dragonflies came and made a wish they too could dance and with a nod of his head the King made their wishes come true and butterflies and dragonflies danced until the end of the day around the mystical pathways as the shadows became long and the sun began to fade .
When the dance was over everyone asked where have they gone .
Where are those fairies who came to dance .
So everyone there started to look high and low , they searched here and there , but the ballerina butterflies and dragonfly debutants had disappeared over the hill and far away .
They had their dance and they flew away , before a new day had come and now that their dance was done , their fairy wings had been burned up by the sun . All the creatures of the secret garden were so sad when the new dawn came and the soft rain fell because there was no more dancing to be seen .

When the dawn came and the sun fell down from the sky everyone asked
were are those ballerina fairies who danced so gracefully , Where have they gone and where can they be , They looked all around the secret garden there ,,
underneath the Dandelion trees , inside hives of bumble bees .but no one could find the fairy dancers .
Then the Queen of the stream she opened up her eye and decided to make a wish of her own to bring back the fairy dancers where ever they had flown and then her wish was blown by a breeze for the dream weavers to see on the banks of eternity where dreams come from and someone seen the dream and sent it to the King who was resting in his castle .
He gently awoke with a smile and in a little while he granted the wish of the queen of the stream and the fairies who danced returned from the arms of a bog oak where the magic fairy folk come from and they realised that another dawn had broke so before tomorrow came the dancing fairies flew into the sky to the secret garden and in the twinkling of an eye they found new steps at their feet that brought a radiance of a light in their flight as they danced in the garden until twilight and life was good for all the creatures who were there in the secret garden .

The queen of the stream made another wish for the dancers to stay and never leave and the King granted the wish of the queen and the butterflies and dragonflies returned and in the blink of an eye they were turned into fairies who could dance their way swiftly from flower to flower and tree to tree with their ballerina feet that swept all of the dust away in the day and the dance went on until the twilight fell .
Then wrapped up in a twilight curtain the faires were kissed by a heavenly touch that gave them permission to dance everyday in the secret garden until the darkness of night came and then as every new morning came those fairies would return at the sunrise to dance once again in the secret garden where music is blown in by the wind and in that place where roses grow there is a beautiful glow of sunlight that comes shinning as the fairy ballerina dancers continue to bring their magic as the days grow long and the seasons change and the songs remain the same that keeps the feet of the fairy dancers moving where time stands still .
Isn’t it a wonder to think of how wishes can come true and all the things we could do before twilight comes and as the day gets wrapped once more by a heavenly kiss at twilight time .

The queen of the stream was so happy to see the fairies dance and she blew up lots of balloons and placed them around all the trees by the stream .

The balloons attracted unicorns to come and the unicorns who were seldom seen brought many others creatures to come with their picnic baskets and all of a sudden the secret garden was full of colours and magical creatures who all had secrets to share in the mystical garden .
The King and his magic swan will often come flying between , somewhere and nowhere , granting wishes for those who believe .

The End
