ancient stories;
a staff of pearls and paperwhites;
holding onto the dream.

the light coming back;
paddling out to the island;
plenty of wild honey.

pebbles;
drums from the other side of the mountain;
flapping your wings and taking off.

half-way toward spring;
a pouch replenished with gold coins;
waltzing in the afternoon.

turning wheat into gold;
what it’s like to be a snowflake;
rhe fox sledding down the hill.

three crows with a message;
marmite;
pulling the sword out of the stone.

waiting inside the crater;
being a fly on the wall;
turning back into a pumpkin.

beyond the blue horizon;
seeds asleep and stirring;
an old-fashioned pantomime.

the reflection in the pool;
hearing harps on the hill of Tara;
exploring the attic.

the origin of wool;
waking up in the top of a tree;
discovering a planet.
