Analysis of Dark Fairy



In a place of shadows and moonlight beams,
Where the whispers of magic are heard in dreams,
There lived a fairy of darkness and shade,
A creature of beauty, yet feared and betrayed.

Her name was Faye, a dark fairy queen,
With wings of black and eyes of green,
Her hair was midnight, her skin was pale,
And her voice echoed like a mournful tale.

Faye danced in the shadows, her steps so light,
And her laughter echoed through the night,
She played with the darkness, she ruled the night,
And all who saw her were filled with fright.

But Faye was not all that she seemed,
For her heart was pure, her spirit redeemed,
She was a fairy of balance and light,
A creature of beauty, both dark and bright.

So if you should wander in the woods at night,
And you see a fairy with wings of black in flight,
Do not be afraid, do not take flight,
For it may just be Faye, the dark fairy of light.
