Midnight clouds move in the sky as the wind dances through the darkness...the Dark Fairy stands upon the cold, bare ground, her sword in its hilt….

….a double edged dagger held within her hand.....thoughts swirl within her mind catching her heart and throwing it to the wind as it blows in gusts, cold first and then warmer as the moon sets and the sun rises over the frozen lake….spring is on its way and soon the ice and snow shall be gone…..and she hopes....for laughter….for peace......for freedom…and for love in the moonlight beneath the stars on a warm summer’s night with stars sparkling in the skies above the ridge of the nearby hill… As the sun rises, she walks into the shadows to gather the darkness within and to seek the light that is there for her…just waiting… In dreams, she sees lost loves smiling and hopes in her heart for more than before…and then there is the faceless one…the one who she is meant for…and she wonders within her dream who he is…and her mind slips deep into sleep to gather strength to face another night alone…for now…

Shimmering snowflakes fall upon her lashes as the Dark Fairy stands before the frozen lake’s edge with the icy wind blowing......

...the fur of her cape brushing against her face feeling as though it is the hand of a lost lover......all she has ever wanted was love…….a love that would shine within her heart and drown her soul with light…..but now she realizes that she must walk on alone….at least for now in the darkness…….and she smiles knowing that it will come in time……just time…….for if she looks into the darkness, she will find the light……..
