Light Faeries Prevail

This story continues a series of short fiction exploring some of the Faerie Shepherds and Shepherdesses within my fantasy world. Read below the story for further explanation and head over to the Tales of the Faerie Shepherds if you’d like to read more!

We dance; we light;

We mean no fright.

Alive, aware,

Cretins beware.

Good and kindness

Drape o’er blindness,

Save when evil lurks;

And we set to work.

We dance; we light;

Our faces shine bright.

Alive, aware,

Cretins declare;

“Good and kindness

Throws off blindness;

Our deeds uncovered.

Up next, they’re smothered.”

We dance; we light;

Well into night.

Alive, aware,

Cretins ensnare.

Good and kindness,

Absentmindness.

Evil now covered;

Never more uttered.
