Upon your arrival you'll be greeted by a fairy
So tiny and delicate with iridescent wings
made of glass.
She will demand you provide three reasons why you wish to pass
as the land before you, she warns, is as beautiful as it is brash.
With your home upon your back,
You stand amazed as the fog separating your sight starts to pass.
Before you a land filled with such magic and mischief, you don't notice the fairy as she lays a gentle hand upon your cheek.
Guided over the bridge, your heart is filled with whispered tales of mountains that rise from the land with such might they may hold dragons within their height.
Of valleys and rolling plains so green they cacoon the realms of fairies and sprites, the tiny folk who will aid you with their life.
She warns of the creatures hiding in the waterfalls and shallow pools made of lightest blue but as long as your intentions are pure no trouble you shall lure.
With one final flap of her tiny wings, you place your boots upon the land as
the tiny fairy with yellow around her eyes knows your three wishes are worthy and whole.
Alongside the magical embrace, your heart feels instantly lighter as the fairy takes the painful load.
You're free of your troubles she whispers,
Adventure awaits you but go cautious as you step as the pass isn't always as safe as the pact.
When you reach the highest point and your smile breaks the Skye, do remember the little fairy with wings made of glass...
She can't yet go where you are and so please capture your sight.
Be brave, be bold, be safe.
Isle of Skye welcomes you
Just remember to come back.

- Comment from author about the poem: It's been many months since I've had the motivation or inspiration to write a poem. I've not even been able to read poems, so I have many to catch up on! An old friend of mine was visiting the Isle of Skye and suddenly inspiration found me. I hope I am welcomed back :)

An enchanting read Clara - This poetic picture and altogether delightful rhyme brings Skye to life for readers like me who never have been far from my Cornish home - - your pen captures so clearly the spirit of mystery I was almost packing my bags to experience the fairy-welcome. Am so glad I caught your write on Skye and look forward to reading more of your work.
Thank you Fay! I am really pleased you enjoyed it. I've also never been - it seems such a magical place. The stories you could fashion seem endless! Anyway, thank you for commenting!
Yes indeed, really quite enchanting .. and consequently, thoroughly enjoyed
...
Welcome back & here's wishing you all the very best of All Good Things,
Neville
Thank you Neville. I was slightly apprehensive about returning as I had been away for so long and missed countless poems from the community. Least I have a lot to read now!
.. I sincerely hope you feel more comfortable now .. and just want to reiterate my previous whisper ..
My wife and I used to love going to Skye, such a wonderful place for us both with such wonderful memories.
It's good to see you back Clara, I do hope all is well with you.

Oh how wonderful. I hope I did a good job of a place I've never actually been! Thank you for stopping by and commenting - I am pleased to be back.
Ahh, not been there. Now I know what it's like. I never knew I was missing so much! heehee.
Well, I may be completely wrong as I've never been before either hehe!
good read,
but I struggled with the font a little
Thank you! Apologies for the font! I have attempted to edit it, enlarge it but it doesn't seem to have made a difference. I know for next time. Thank you for reading.
