Just another whimsical and tongue in cheek little poem.
Above the Rainbow
Above the rainbow there is a place
Known to few, a secret space
Where magic and imagination rule
No place for the wise man or the fool
Only for the dreamer and he who seeks
From lowest valleys to the highest peaks
Where dragons reign and soar with ease
Echoes of music on the faintest breeze
Haunting Fairy music like a siren calls
Through shafts of moonlight and waterfalls
From caves of crystal that shine so bright
Like a million stars on a cloudless night
A dreamer sits on a beach of sand
Where gentle tides caress the land
And listens to a far off beating drum
Through wind and tide and foam they come
The heartbeat of the ocean floor
Rumbles like thunder on a distant shore
Dancing in the moonlight around a fairy fort
Where the Fairy King and his Queen hold court
No mortal should linger here for long
For fear of being caught in their music and song
As the lines of dancers weave and flow
Spinning enchanting webs that glow
Circles and spirals of living light
In the realm of the fair folk so tall and bright
And the Leprechaun, that rascally rogue
Time passes slowly in Tír na n’Og.
