Have You Seen a Fairy Today?

Have You Seen a Fairy Today?

Have you seen a Fairy today?

Have you seen them at play?

Where do the fairies go to play?

Where do they live -

Where do they stay?

For some the only fairy they've seen, is in a book,

For others they've found them in houses by a brook.

All I know is it's fun to look -

 

For the fairies that have escaped from the book.

These are pictures I've taken of Fairy Gardens in California.  A Fairy Garden can be small or large.  They're fun to make and fun to see. 

I See the Sea

I See the Sea

She asked the child on the beach,

"What do you see?"

"I see the sea." was the reply.

"What do you hear?" she asked again.

"I hear the sea," the child replied.

"What do you feel?" the lady asked.

"The sand and the sea," was the child's simple reply.

The child looked up and asked the lady fair,

"What do you see?"

"I see a place where the water meets the sky,

 A place where the seals and dolphins play,

And where each wave becomes a possibility of a ride,

 I see a place to sit or walk all day."

"And what do you hear? the child asked her again.

"I hear the the waves, as they crash against each other.

I hear the cry of a gull

And a baby seal talking to his mother."

"I know you'll ask what I feel, and that is harder to explain.

And harder to put into words that rhyme but I'll try."

"I feel God's presence as he paints the sky.

I feel Mother Nature's power as each crashing wave goes by.

I feel the peace that the sea's presence brings as we

Become one and as I too

see the sea."

Whenever I go and sit and watch the waves come in and go out, I feel a connection with the universe. It may be because I am a Pisces, which is a water sign, but I think it's more than that. I'm finding it hard to put into words but I know that the ocean is part of who I am.
