The Faery Kingdom of Falias

Poem by Chloe-Rose Ramsey

From His palace of gold and rosy light perched above the valley of clouds and precipices of hazy blue I descended … to The Faery Kingdom of Falias

In death I have become part Faery as I wished in life, when the ghost of gossamer wings hovered over my back and I could only hear Him in my head.

To earn my wings I offered to make great sacrifices, but He shook His head, ‘no’, smiled at me in endearment, and wings, luminous as the sun setting through a rose window, unfurled like flowers from my shoulder blades. ‘only travel to the four faery kingdoms,’ He said, ‘so you may learn about your new heritage,’

So here I descend in a sunbeam, particles of dust, glittering like stars or infinite grains of sand, dance like the cosmic harmonies round me as I float down to Falias, The Faery Kingdom of Earth and the North.

What did I find there? You are living, and I am dead, so I’ve been forbidden to share this with you,

But you know this one, you don’t know you know, but you do! This is the place where the magic known as life first sprang, Your soul remembers.
