Magic Garden

…

Gently walk with me

…

Along the special garden path

…

Gently open the invisible gate

And enter the magic fairy garden

Begin to carefully walk its many paths

And become aware of the others near

Begin to hear the fairy birds singing

And see two in the fairy bushes

Become aware of the fairy bread tree

With abundant seeds of hanging bread

Become aware of the fairy apple tree

With bright round seeds of round apples

Look amongst the bushes

For fleeting signs of fairy games

Look for the rocky path

For it leads to an adventurous path

Now stop and look and be still

For you will see with fairy eyes

Now quietly prepare to leave fairy-garden

For you must remember to shut the fairy gate
