Ipomoea The Moon Flower Fairy

Flowing dark hair

like a ravens wing

the moon flower fairy, Ipomoea

soars through the night

sprinkling her fairy dust

over the forests delight

sleep all you wonderful creations, she sighs

gather your strength for the next days light

as she dances in the light of the moon

she lands on her bed, so white

 

A moon fairy's night

singing her songs from her heart & lips

touching & dancing on the flower tips

of the moon flower that blooms at her first sight

laying herself down in her aromatic bed so white

Ipomoea closes the blooms around her so tight

goodnight my forest friends she says

goodnight

let the moonlights musical hums

lull you to sleep tonight

goodnight Ipomoea

the breeze recites

silence encases the forest tonight

the moodlight softens

as Ipomoea the moon fairy

closes her eyes tight

& breathes one final

goodnight
