Photo Prompt from Alicia for Surreal Saturday
In the land of the Fae, beauty an apex predator. Listen to the rules of survival before you can’t find your way back.
(this one was made from my voice recording)
🎧🎶 Listen below 👇
Far, far away
In the land of the Fae
The ground leaks colors
And the time is always day
Down in the glen
In the swamp in the fen
Creatures roam merrily—
There aren’t any men
Wings flutter past,
Spells are stitched, curses cast
And the food is not for you
If for home you head at last
Drink not the stream
Though it shines like a dream
For your mind will unwind—
What remains of you will scream
Far, far away—come and dance, come and play
Drink in the beauty, my sweet unwitting prey
Far, far away—hear the soft voices say:
“You may leave if you like…”
…but you’ll never get away
Follow not the song
Though it calls you along
For the voice holds a hunger—
It has waited for too long
Step soft and light
Through the flowers bold and bright
For the blooms have their eyes,
And they watch you with delight
Stay not too late
Or you’ll seal your own fate
Smell the woodsmoke and rot—
Try your best to find the gate
Paths twist and wind
Leave no footprints behind
Every step that you take
Makes your home harder to find
Far, far away—come and dance, come and play
Drink in the beauty, my sweet unwitting prey
Far, far away—hear the soft voices say:
“You may leave if you like…”
…but you’ll never get away
Drink not from the stream…
Do not follow the song…
Do not stay past the hour…
Or you will not last long…
Far… far away…
You’ve already strayed…
Far, far away—come and dance, come and play
Drink in the beauty, my sweet unwitting prey
Far, far away—hear the soft voices say:
“You may leave if you like…”
…but you’ll never get away
I’m both terrified and intrigued
Brilliance wrapped in words !!
