Fairy Dust
I wrote a poem called “Fairy Dust” and incorporated the words into my artwork of the same title. These are the words of the poem …
“Fairy Dust”
Mixed media on paper and frame. 9 × 9 inches. 2021.
Wind churns the dust
of the Earth.
And as I begin to flap my
Petaled wings of purple
(the deep kind you’d want to dive right into!),
Fairy dust
(Oh it glimmers with the force of truth!)
drip drops drip drops from my lips,
corners turned toward the clouds.
Fly!
(And soar, we did!)
Right through the mist!
A mist so pure with blue, and
I even noticed clusters of cream
threaded through.
