Troll's Dark Keep

Out of darkness, rolling thunder
Rising tall it seeks to reach
Howlings try to rip asunder-
There’s a light in Troll’s dark keep!
Dragons roar with breath of fire
Maidens cry- their breast they beat
Yet safety beckons- twining fingers
With the light in Troll’s dark keep.
Reaching out - a beacon there
Unknown magic dark and deep?
Only those who brave the maze
Can see the light in Troll’s dark keep.
Feel the power, find the joy
Words and friendships that you seek,
Worth the pain and heart’s near breaking,
To find the light in Troll’s dark keep?
Wrapping ‘round with wisps of mist
And then the smell of death does reek.
Can you face the truth inside-
Of the light at Troll’s dark keep
Lord of Trolls, he knows the truth
Yet hides this thing so very deep
Those who brave the horror’s jest
Find the light at Troll’s dark keep.

Darkling Fae

O.K. back to the fantasy Halloween mood. Thanks for stopping by and having a look!

Invasion

Not exactly what you thought, but I wanted to share. These are a few of the 20 barn kittens we now have. You can't step out the door without being swarmed by warm fuzzy things of assorted ages and colors. The mothers were dumped out here by people who didn't want to deal with their pregnant cats. Those cats were lucky....they found us. We provide shelter (big barn and assorted safe places under the porch, in the garage, etc. and we make sure they have food and fresh water. The unlucky ones will be attacked by owls or coyotes and killed and eaten... or worse, they will starve to death.

Dark Night

October always puts me in a Halloween mood. So, for the next few week....Don't look behind you!!!!

Peace of spirit , driving force of life…….
Giving what’s needed through turmoil and strife
Anchor of meaning, hardness of core
Beauty in reaching, giving much more.
Envelop my heart with knowledge so old,
Gentle my yearnings and comfort my soul.
Bending in wind and teaching the truths,
Meanings and twisting with deepening roots.
Life within life, sheltering here,
So many dreams of those I hold dear.
Universal meanderings, giving to all
Peace of the spirit - the time,
Now,
when leaves fall……..

Maple Fae

These tiny fae greet the first day of Autumn. Can you see them?

Why didn't You Tell Me

Why didn’t you tell me I loved you this much?
You never said you knew.
Why didn’t you tell me?
When I touch the place where you lay your head on my shoulder,
The memory of your breath would fill me,
Or when I put on your shirt, your scent would send
Visions of your face racing across my mind.
Why didn’t you tell me?
When I hear your footsteps, my heart would quicken,
Or when I look into your eyes I would see my
Soul looking back.
Why didn’t you tell me I loved you this much?
You always had faith - you always knew.
