The Pixy Play
By Laura Frechette

There is a wooded called filled with oak sycamore and pine.
The ferns and fallen leaves cover the ground as frost covers all in the area.

A small stream caresses the curves of the valley.
If followed, it joins the river and on the way down to the constant rush of water
the remnants of a flood remains.

An older pine is ravages.
The roots are pulled fromt the earth and the split trunk and branches
rest just behind its stump.

At first it seems like nothing more than an old fallen tree.
But as the sun sets whispers begin to rise from shadows.
The fireflies begin to collect and hover aroung the branches and alcoves
Created by the water’s wll to make nature into a theatre.

“Gather round ye pixy folk,” a little man’s voice calls.
“Ye beasts and feathered friends in the trees, come and join us for a time.
There’s a riddle to be solved and a story to unwind.”

So birds and chipmunks, squirrels and insets make their way to the open aired theatre.
Even the guardian pixies come forth into view and take rest as the moon begins to rise.
From behind the raised bark of the tree stump little lights begin to appear
And to applause or boos they play their parts and tell their night time tales.

But for us the light is dizzying,  and the night is our time for rest.
And before you know what has happened, you are drifting into a dream
With the sound of distant voices in your head.
When you awake the sun is ready to rise above the horizon.
You gather yourself and embrace the cold morning for your trek back to your man made world.
But as yoiur depart, just for an instantm you hear a little man say,
“We are here every night. Not to worry. You will get to see our play.”

Twilight Dances
By Laura Frechette

Sweet little melody on the air you sing
With a precious harmony, in my head you ring.
Come little melody, have you the time to play.
Dance with us harmony, in the rhythm sway.

Sweet little mortal child, listen to us sing
Follow us precious one into imagining
Come little mortal child and stay all night long
Dance dance innocent to our fairy song.

Dear harmony and melody, why do the fairies sing?
To please the earth,
To please ourselves,
To please the Goblin King
Oh fairy friends, let us away. I’m frightened by your tale.
You can not leave dear mortal child, try and you shall fail.

All hail to his viciousness, Hail the Goblin King
Melody, Harmony, what did you pixies bring?
A prize for you our honored lord, the child of which you spoke.
The one you would then make your own to join us fairy folk.

Oh Goblin King, please let me go. I have no wish to stay.
You would rather be yourself and grow your human way.
Why not stay within our land. I’ll grant you fairy flight
You’ll want for nothing and you can be free to do what you like.

And if I should refuse you King, what will become of me.
Then we shall curse those of your kin for your treachery.
And you shall watch to your dismay as they fall to our might.
So I ask you stay, be one of us and save them from this plight.

I will stay, my Goblin King. Until my death I swear.
I shall be your fairy child and follow you everywhere.
So shall it be child of man, let this be a lesson to all.
Follow not the fairy song lest you answer the Goblin’s call

Laura Frechette
Featuring Adam Frechette as the Goblin King
