A slightly different inspiration*
A story:
The toll of years — eyes now milky that had once darkly enchanted young men into gifting her with poetry and pearls. Flesh hung from arms that had comforted children and gripped her husband with passion.
Sunset found her in the field and the tiny voices cried in exuberant greeting.
Welcome! Sister! Happy Day!
Their faerie songs sparkled the air, wings beating perfume across her face. Tiny hands helped her to the grass as many danced above her in gilded patterns.
Soft as a lover’s sigh she was swept up into the sun’s last offering.
Life changed and went on.

But she harbored a secret in her bureau drawer

Enter another season
Life goes on
The world keeps turning and life goes on
Life goes on
The world keeps turning and life goes on
In the dead of the night
They escape to their fantasy without a sound
Her father still burns a light
But they never returned and they were never found… ****
