I thought I would post some of my fairy poems, just sweet innocent little flowery poems. Because there are fairies. Fairies are part of the angelic kingdom. Just like there are all kinds of people, there are all kinds of angels. God is not limited.
Think how many stars there are. Actually, no one really knows how many there are. Astronomers estimate there are about 100 thousand million stars in the Milky Way alone. Outside that, there are millions upon millions of other galaxies also, all filled with their own stars.
Well, I started this to post a fairy poem, but now I am reminded of one of my favorite poems by Sara Teasdale, so I will post that. I especially like her ending.
On a dark hill
With pines around me
Spicy and still,
And a heaven full of stars
Over my head,
White and topaz
And misty red;
Myriads with beating
Hearts of fire
That aeons
Cannot vex or tire;
Up the dome of heaven
Like a great hill,
I watch them marching
Stately and still,
And I know that I
Am honored to be
Witness
Of so much majesty.
And this is her picture:

Stars
Alone in the nightOn a dark hill
With pines around me
Spicy and still,
And a heaven full of stars
Over my head,
White and topaz
And misty red;
Myriads with beating
Hearts of fire
That aeons
Cannot vex or tire;
Up the dome of heaven
Like a great hill,
I watch them marching
Stately and still,
And I know that I
Am honored to be

Of so much majesty.
