As Time Stops

Twilight

As the sun sets
the moon rises 
Time stops.

Tree fairies come out.
Little beings of light
dance on hilltops
play beneath the moon
spreading joy, love and innocence.

Elder trees, wisdom trees watch
longing for those days
when they lived in innocence
when earth was at peace
man’s ego slept
women ruled 
with nurturing hand.

As the moon sets 
the sun rises
Time stops.

The fairy trees rest.
Elder trees, wisdom trees 
dream of the dawn
when men put down their arm
Earth ruled once again 
by woman’s hand.
