Dove and the Raven

The fairies danced the night away

Drinking their spirits

Happy and free.

Till a woman came toiling down the lane.

Kneeling before stones

That hid the fairy world.

From her hands she placed

A feather white as snow

And a feather dark as night.

One Plucked from the purest of creatures

And the other from one misunderstood

These two offerings she bared before her

"I wish a Dove of my own

Shinning bright as the sun.

Pure as the morning that bore it.

And a Raven

Dark as the night

With the moon to guide its path always"

In this simple request

the fairies granted the wish.

What was to pass

would come swift.

First the Dove

She was born.

Hair as golden as the sun

Heart as Pure as the morning

Eyes as blue as the sky.

She grew and grew

Her wonder knew no bounds.

The woman nearly forgot her Raven

Content with the Dove

Who made her days wonderful.

But the fairies would keep their promise.

Years later came her Raven.

Hair as dark as it's feather,

Skin glowing like the moon

Eyes beaming and blue.

He completed her wish

So bountiful and joyous.

Misunderstood but so very loved.

As Ravens do he had so many hurtles.

But the woman smiled in happiness.

She had her Sun and Moon

Her Dove and Raven.

The fairies promise now complete

She could only happily raise

Her greatest wishes.
