Twilight Faerie Whimsy

Hues ranging from pink, blue, and lavender
creep up the serene sky as the earth succumbs
to twilight. Balmy breezes blow, and a
smattering of stars peek through the onset of
eventide. This is what dreams are made of.

Faeries lurk in their tiny homes waiting
for their rendezvous. Moonlight peers out from
above the sunset. Tall grasses wave
their greeting to the luminous orb as he smiles
down on them. Flowers lift up their essence as
a sweet offering of hospitality
to happy wanderers. Millions of fireflies dance
amidst all of it.

Trees reach up in inky black, lacey silhouettes
against the last hurrah of flaming pink sky.
The sun is going on holiday.

There they go! Did you see it? A turn of a
silvery faerie wing against an indigo sky,
tilted just so that the moonlight gilds it
ever-so-slightly. Soon you see another, and
another. They want to experience each blossom,
bud, and mysterious light sensation. They dance,
they fly. Each little faerie dressed to impress,
with the finest of silks, leaves, and tiny blooms
to adorn them. They are carefree, for where they
are is free from turbulence. ~*~

Earthy, Artisanal, and Mysterious: Imagine It.

Today I find myself very much in the mood for earthy, artisanal, and romantic things. Things that
speak of mystery and intrigue. Think of going into an old opera house just to explore. You find
an old piano and costumes. You wonder who the people were that wore these things, what
their lives were like, and how they would have felt dressing up in these garments. The colors
are gold, burgundy, burnt orange, black, mustard yellow, and chocolate brown...maybe with a
hint of luminous spring green touched by light golden yellow. Everything is warm, intriguing, and
inspiring. Think masquerades. Who played the piano? What was it like? You let your imagination
wander to the wonderful things that could have taken place in that room.

Other than that the more urban side is fascinating...scuffed black jeans and dark jackets and tops.
Women with blonde hair done big in the front with a chignon in the back, accented by hairsticks
or headbands. Men in their aviator shades with short hair tousled in the front, their faces shadowed
from lack of a razor. Everything is rugged, chic, elegant, or combination of suave and rustic...think
high heels and black ankle boots, or leather and pearls.

A mysterious evening out on the town, city lights and cool breezes tease you. There are friends
waiting to be made, discoveries yet to be had. Someone is wearing cologne with spices in it, and
the smell of exhaust and smoke mingles with the spice and cool of the evening. You go to a coffee
house, and the warm nuttiness of espresso reaches out and embraces you. Good conversation
and company are enjoyed by you and your friends. City lights twinkle around you.

Embrace mystery, wonder, and warmth. What intrigues you today?
