The morning air was cool and moist, the sun had not yet kissed the morning sky and the birds had begun their praises to the day. This day felt special. I went for a walk in the woods, taking in the morning air, lovely sounds, scents and colours. The wet blades of grass tickled my toes, as I picked wild flowers. Then to my surprise I heard singing in the distance, faint but hauntingly beautiful, it came and went, I followed it deeper into the woods, but I could no longer hear it. I began to feel faint, lightheaded, and out of breadth, then there was peace that came over me. I sat on the cool earth, and closed my eyes and began to feel a familiar feeling. My heart was pounding as I contained my excitement; I knew they were with me. But I had to believe&moments after I felt the soft flutter of flight on my cheek, my eye lids were kissed, as I opened to see her there before me, in a vision of purple, lavender and violet, her wings glowed and moved gracefully as she rested on a mushroom near my feet. Her eyes locked mine, we connected. Her face was enchanting, as she told me secrets sweet as sugarplum that made my heart light; we giggled, laughed and sang songs. I was a child again, I felt blessed she revealed herself to me& and as sun peeked through the trees she said her goodbyes kissed my forehead and wished me a Faery blessed day leaving a trail of violet colour behind her. I walked home feeling light, with butterflies in my stomach that made me giggle, and then I noticed around my ankle, the ring of violet flowers she entwined for me &her vision locked in my memory&
