The Full Moon Trillium Dance

The first sight of a Trillium in Spring

is good luck

Today I spotted the first one

in the afternoon light

Sometimes the elves will hide behind the trees

and watch you curiously

as you gaze at the Trillium's beauty

I might have spotted one out of the corner of my eye

It was a mighty cute little fella

But you won't pay the elves much mind

because you will be so taken with the precious flower

Your eyes might grow wide

with awe

You might fall into a daydream

and recite poetry to this beloved creation....

The petals are as soft

as an Angel's wing

What might it feel like

against your cheek?

Petals as light

as a fairy's footprint

How can it be so delicate

and sweet?

White as white

as white can be

Pure

and

Simple

and

Brilliant

Glowing from within

Day and Night

If those few moments are not enough to satisfy your need

for the magic of the Trillium,

then you might want to try this:

(but your timing must be just right)

Quietly sneak out at Twilight

and hide in the woodland

Find a comfortable spot in the moss

and wait

until the full moon is high in the sky

You will see the Trilliums all throughout the wood

Glowing as brilliantly as the Moon

The Trilliums and the Moon are sisters

Watch in silence (keep quiet remember!)

The fairy lights will start to glow

They will circle each Trillium three times

And begin their yearly dance

The Spring Dance

The Moon Dance

The Trillium Dance

Under the Full Moon

When the petals have just opened

The fairies might invite other woodland friends

to join the celebration

They will dance on the petals so gently

You won't even see the petal move

Softer than the breeze

The fairies leave no trace of their dancing

It will be so beautiful, you might think it's a dream

And if you return the next day to the same spot

You might think that indeed it was

But the fairies leave tiny things behind

That a keen eye can spot

So watch closely

But the real proof..

You can feel

In your heart
