  • One Winter’s Rest

    Where in white flats over hills and dales
    live snowy creatures in snowy hills
    overcast the sky a white veil
    covers a frozen forest of fairies
    in fallen fate telling tawny tales
    and this winter’s rest one rare bird
    flew west into the sun passage
    over the ocean and caught waves
    and played with the dolphins
    improving her endorphins.

    “Over hill, over dale,
    Thorough bush, thorough brier,
    Over park, over pale,
    Thorough flood, thorough fire;
    I do wander everywhere,
    Swifter than the moon’s sphere.”

    Spoken by Fairy in A Midsummer Night’s Dream
    Act 2, scene 1, lines 2-7
