The Faerie of Growth

***

The Faerie of Growth is never shy
To turn the page and wonder why
To further read upon the page
Wiser thoughts from any sage

He’ll gladly walk down any road
Even if he bears a load
Awareness, peace, and sacred light
Can not be gained without a fight

Upon leaves of green, he nurtures health
To build a sturdy, spiritual wealth
He ponders daily strength of wings
Reflections of a heart that sings

Confronted by the harshly real
Gossamer becomes his steel
The lessons learned are woven fast
Life’s complex fabric, everlast

Stagnation comes to those who stop
Striving to maintain the crop
A growing field that you discover
Tend, enjoy, rest, recover

Greet the faerie, find your voice
Growth is yours by willing choice
Age can't conquer inner youth
When you believe in faerie truth
