When the fairies dance
joy fills the garden again
rousing sleeping worms
and bottom-dwelling dreamers
to bathe in the sparkling light

My thanks to the two different challenges that had me thinking about fairies and light and things that dance and grow: Crimson’s Creative Challenge and MMM’s Tale Weaver.
MADNESS TAKES ITS TOLL
LIKE THE CLOUDS BEFORE THE DAWN
DANCING WITH THE LIGHT
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Thanks to Fandago’s Word Prompt (madness) for taking my mind to one of my favorite shows of all time. And thanks to Sue’s Photo Prompt for the added inspiration. Originally my brain took the “madness takes its toll” idea to a DARK place, but Sue’s photo brought me back to the light.
And as a reminder …

dances with dust mites ~
distant motes of light sparkle ~
cosmos reveals life ~

~~~~Brian & Tina: a love story ~~~~
lavender lipstick ~
met Converse high tops and tux ~
a love story told ~

Many many years ago, a girl met a boy at a bar. All summer long, they drank rum and danced to David Bowie and sang with the Heads. Then summer ended. But the girl didn’t go home. She stayed because like Chaka Khan says “Ain’t Nobody.”
Ain’t nobody
Loves me better
Makes me happy
Makes me feel this way
Ain’t nobody
Loves me better than you
Thanks for the perfect writing prompt! Putting my Feet in the Dirt
