Meeting the King and Queen of the Sylphs

This post is from my book, “The Stories of the Fairy Godmother” by Raylene Abbott that can be found on Amazon.com

“I would like to introduce you to Lord Josh and Lady Gynith,” the Rose Queen said. They were spirits of the air known in the fairy world as sylphs. Lord Josh was tall and stately with curly dark hair, that made ringlets around his face. He wore silvery blue clothes. If you looked at him one way, the clothes appeared blue. If you looked at him in another way, his clothes seemed to be silver. He took off his silver blue hat and made a deep bow to the Fairy Godmother and the Rose Queen. When Lord Josh tipped his hat, a downy swan feather fell to the ground before the Fairy Godmother. The Fairy Godmother bent down and picked up the feather. Then she said, ”Lord Josh, I think this is yours.” Lord Josh said, “This is a gift to you, Fairy Godmother. It is a magical swan feather. I found it one day as I was flying through the clouds. Place the feather on your forehead, and it will inspire you with the thoughts of the angels.” “Oh, thank you ever so much, Lord Josh,” she said. Lord Josh took the hand of Lady Gynith and said, “ I would like to present to you Lady Gynith.” Lady Gynith’s hair shone like spun gold. Her eyes were the deepest blue, like the sky itself. Her dress was made up of silver sparkles, and her wings looked just like swan feathers. When she smiled, sparks of light flew everywhere. Lady Gynith bowed to the Rose Queen and the Fairy Godmother with the grace of a swan. “How do you do?” said Lady Gynith. I also have brought you a gift. Lady Gynith tapped her heels together. She raised her head to the air and began to sing: Angels in front of me, Angels behind, Angels above me, Angels divine... Ref.:
Open my heart, help me see. Let my feet be as light as thee. Open my heart deep inside Where all the wisdom truly resides. Angels in nature, green and gold, Angels in flowers to unfold. Angels in mountains, Angels in streams, Angels all around you in the unseen. Ref.: Angels of the air, they fly with ease. Angels of the wind, they bring the breeze. Angels of the river and the babbling brook, Angels of the fire like to cook. As Lady Gynith sang the last note of the song the words seemed to enter deep into the heart of the Fairy Godmother. All the surrounding fairy folk clapped. “Thank you for such a beautiful gift,” said the Fairy Godmother to Lady Gynith. Lady Gynith bowed, and then took Lord Josh’s hand as they both glided together into the party.
