Warming the HearthThe winter snow falling too softly to hear Asleep in bed with nothing to fear A sweet little filly, with dreams so grand A mystical night in a magical land. The coals of the fire flicker away Listen close, they seem to say "Carry yourself to the land of dreams, A world where nothing is what it seems" The clouds race by inside her head As she'd rather be flying instead A rainbow trail leads the way To pleasant rest, content to stay Hypnotic whistles of the breeze The waves crashing in the seas A birdie flying oh so high "Come join me in the endless sky!" A buzz of wings just a little small Believe, and you will never fall From the warm embrace of slumber's hold Protection from the dark and cold A world unlike you've ever seen The sunlight glows an ephemeral sheen The clouds float by unawares Of the filly on the ground who stares Up to the heavens, up above Flying is the one true love A single tear, a fateful wish A hope to find her special niche The moonlight glows on silent plains A young mare dreams of summer rains The moon hangs lower in the sky It's almost time for her to fly Her wings extend, flapping twice And with an aura like frosted ice The feathers grow and fill the space Soon, she'll be an aerial ace The glow resides, the moon soon falls A whisper is heard within the halls "Awaken, little sleepy one For awaiting you is merry fun Your wings, they grew three sizes today And soon we hear the filly say "YESYESYES, My wings, my wings! She dances happily, she also sings The merry tunes of Hearth's Warming Eve A merry tale, the song will weave Of fillies whose wishes become reality But only if they set them free Let their words float in their dreams The silver lining has no seams An innocent soul with nothing left Spending days feeling bereft Casting wishes to the air Each wish becomes a tiny flare The moon sees all and takes to heart It appreciates their desperate art Appearing from the shadows deep A Lunar visit whilst you sleep Can make the dreams reality "Just open your eyes, young filly, and see." Awake. Bright. Blinded by the light The sun's true power and might Reveals all hidden by shade And shows what comes of wishes made The Moon will grant a wish to thee Just come closer now, come and see Where hope and belief reign supreme I shape reality to fit your dream So when your hearth is dark and cold Burn some logs, dry and old Usher in a comforting heat And the spirit of Hearth's Warming you'll meet Her name is unknown to ponykind But if you look closely you'll find The stars burn a bit more bright When influenced by the Princess of the Night Let her embrace fill you with cheer May your wishes come true here So gaze up at the moon tonight And maybe your wish just might.. Come true. And it's only as true as you. Author's Note Happy Hearth's Warming, everypony, hope you enjoy this little poetic verse, inspired by defender2222's new story.

Under Her LightUnder Her Light Under her light, I find myself mid-flight Contemplating why This limitless sky Is my greatest friend Under her light, I have no reason to fight When the battle stops dead In this life I've barely led I find myself all alone Under her light, I can reach any height And my wings will forever try to allow this pegasus to fly To a level all my own Under her light, There are a few who might Try to send me to earth But no matter my worth I'll always come out on top Under her light, I see the approaching night And welcome it with relief For though the sunlight was brief, It truly warmed my soul Under her light, A sunset makes the sight A little easier to bear But I know that though I care The worry will wash away Under her light, Princess of the Night I feel so very calm Despite the sweat on my palm, I know that I will heal in time Under her light, I stare upward tonight And see the stars and moon I wrap up in my cloud cocoon And dream away the night Under her light, Dawn pierces the night Bringing a whole new day Another chance to run and play With those I hold most dear Under her light, I take a morning flight And see the peace below The warmth inside me grows As I soar to a new day Under her light, Celestia's true might Shines on through the day Her light carries me on my way Into this brave new world Under her light, I have a challenge in sight To make the most of life Despie the turmoil and strife, I will carry on Under her light, My will to fight Glows forevermore And as I close another door Three more take its place Under her light, I no longer lay in fright Of pain and misery For the light will set me free And I will rise again Under her light, A future so bright Shines on just ahead And though my wings feel like lead I can overcome. Under her light, A welcome invite To see a world unknown And as I see I'm not alone My power will return And so under her light, Everything is just right And not a thing could interrupt Even though many are corrupt, I will never fall.
