Three Twisted Knots

Short Stories: Sungbai the Cait-Sidhe

Traveller, are you tired?
Can your feet not find the way?
But now gratefully you’ve stumbled into
Duskfall Court.

Are you calmed by our blues?
Do our purples wake your soul?
How the lanterns twinkle temptingly in
Duskfall Court.

The graceful Faelidae
Have you seen us watching you?
Never mind: your eyes will never rest in
Duskfall Court.

I have a song to sing for you
It’s a song you always knew
Let it call the kitten you
Welcome to the Dusk.

I have a tale to spin for you
It’s a story shared with few
But you’ve come the Shadow Route
And you’ve found the Dusk.

Are there dangers here? Yes
But adventure’s at the heart
Safer when your native stay is here in
Duskfall Court.

Your feet are fleeter now
Better when it’s best to run
Back into your den of comfort here in
Duskfall Court.

You will forget the world you knew
For the song you always knew
For the story shared with few
You are no more a vagabond
Settled here in violet fronds
Call your home the Dusk.
