Christmas  Dance
by Pamela K. Kinney



Midnight came, announcing Christmas,
Stars gleaming like iridescent candles
Below, at the forest green,
The faeries came out of hiding, glittering like lights
Christmas lights.

They danced, circling in a sensational array,
Wing tip to wing tip, scattered among moon-silvered snow
Other denizens of Faerie showed up,
Lords and Ladies, dressed in fashions of magic
Christmas decorations.

From the low bough of a tree, leafless and covered in snow,
Pan played upon reed pipes
Music, seductive and full of good tidings,
All of Faerie danced in frenzy haste
Christmas cheer.

Bird songs filled the cold, crisp air,
Wings of many colors swirled in a cloud of feathers
Songs of joy melded with Faerie music,
Rising, swirling, tornado-like, to the heavens above
Christmas carols.

The King and Queen of Faerie came,
Splendid finery of gold and purple
They sat upon thrones of sparkling jewels and holly,
Beautiful, and terrible at the same time
Christmas wonder.

Then everyone stopped and the hush grew deafening,
Eyes so inhuman and yet, so wonderful
Watched the one star in the East, brightly shining,
It shimmered, they shimmered, all aglow like Faerie dust
Christmas magic.
