youthful eyes
open to life
magic abounds
eyes who spy fairies
underneath the fairy slippers
(calypso orchids are also called fairy slippers)
underneath the fairy slippers
(calypso orchids are also called fairy slippers)
fairy slippers grow in the forest
a tiny orchid
with a lovely scent
but one must not step too close to them
or they might not grow back next year

This is a wonderfully calming piece.

Youthful eyes see fairies in the woods but I think you see them even with your eyes closed! Your fairies are magical.
