Fairy Dancer: A Flight of Fancy inspired by the music of Steve Gorn

Tonight I was a fairy-dancer, flying, dancing, and spiraling to the Indian classical music of Steve Gorn.

Initially on the ground, high-stepping and kicking, I decided to leap,
somersaulting and tumbling in mid-air. Then, to the treetops, quick as a sprite, as the spider-fingered drummer weaved chaos, I danced on glossy sunkissed leaves at the top of an enchanted tree-line.

While the flute and drum were dancing a coquettish tango,
I surrendered and spiraled in slow-motion. Unseen hands supported me as I stretched my arms out and floated, spinning like a dervish, slowly, softly … merging with a dusky mist.

As the flute soared, I flew over lush green treetops for miles until I saw a lake. Descending, I danced on the beach, sprinkling fairy dust with flourishes that mimicked the djembe-drum percussion. Waterfalls of pixie dust showered flowers, and I hopped along the surface of the water on sun-sparkles. Each note of the music became a new dance-step as I jumped from sparkle to sparkle. And where the sunlight shimmered on the water, I shimmied with it, hop-scotching across the lake.

Lo and behold, out of the blue, my twin-flame fairy showed up. I took his hands in mine and we mirrored each other, then danced counterpoint. To a casual observer, we might have looked like dragonflies doing a courtly dance. We took off in flight and skimmed the side of a cliff, flying right through the middle of a waterfall into a cave that tunneled through the mountain and out the other side. We climbed higher in to the sky, wrapped our arms around each other, and spiraled, faster and faster, higher and higher, until we left the stratosphere and found ourselves in deep-space. I chose a star for him, and one for me, the way you would pick a wildflower for someone. We glowed like fireflies, tumbling and somersaulting, rolling and spiraling, laughing and giggling, until we spun so fast that together we became a single beam of light, soaring through space as a shooting star.

Then, we decided to disappear beyond the veil, to explore another galaxy … but don’t worry, we’re never really far away, and we’ll come back to Earth to play, another day.
