The Land of Gray
Location
Somewhere in the land of Gray
There was a girl, whose name was Kay
Kay was smart, Kay was beautiful
Most of all, Kay was truthful
A dreamer in the best of ways
In her head spent most her days
Drifting into lands unseen
In her head saw such strange beings
Floating with their wings alight
Calling her into the night
There was a time when once Kay followed
In the darkness, wholly swallowed
In the woods she sat a while
On her lips, a tiny smile
Quite afraid, she could admit
Still, Kay would never quit
On she walked into the dark
'Til at last she saw a spark
A spark so bright coming closer
Seems the spark had things to show her
It led her to a field so vast
A land she felt, was from her past
This spark now stopped, and with a spat
Went shooting off, and that was that
She sat a while, lost in thought
Realized, then, what the spark had brought
A man so tall, with eyes of ice
Spoke like honey, with this advice
“Follow me to the land of Fae
Where sentient beings spend their days
We'll bring you joy, we'll bring you peace
But first your worries, must you cease
There is no pain if go'n this way
I'll bring you back, by break of day
A promise made, and thus will keep
Less I fall to endless sleep”
Kay agreed, and so she kept
Oh so happy, she almost wept
Soon they arrived, a palace so great
Off her chest fell all weight
Worries gone, torn asunder
She heard loud sounds, just like thunder
He led her first, to halls so vast
Where she could see Fae spinning fast
Dancing there in circles small
She wanted just to join them all
And so she did, and danced so well
Followed the beat of mystical bells
With her guide, she waltzed so fair
She noticed not, those standing there
The whole Fae court had come to see
Watched her steps, more than pleased
But the Queen had come, and quite upset
For the poor girl had outdone her best
The Queen of course, was very proud
And quickly parted the growing crowd
There she said, in a voice so high
“She is human, and so must die”
For a girl to be in the land of Green
Once had seen, could never leave
So Kay ran fast, outside the gates
Into the forest, to hide and wait
There again she saw the spark
Which of course, gave quite a start
It led her back from whence she came
Where everything looked quite the same
Kay cam close to the land of Gray
Wanting nothing more, than just to stay
She heard the guards, and so she leapt
Off the ground her feet were swept
She looked around, much surprised
And saw a pair of ice blue eyes
He took her fast, to the gate
For you see, 'twas getting late
"A promise made, and so I'll keep"
With that, Kay fell fast to sleep
When Kay awoke, she almost screamed
Her heart was broke, it was a dream
But alas, when Kay looked down
Wearing still, her dancing gown
Her heart at peace, Kay wrote down
How she got lost, and what she found
It is said that to this day
If one shall visit the land of Gray
Just past midnight, when it is dark
In the woods, there is a spark...
