A lost girl trapped and confused by the veil of her own world of fantasy.
You’ll understand it better if you read the lyrics
This song is based on a shorter one I wrote when I was 12 years old. At that
age I found out I was not a girl anymore, I had to grow up and leave
the safety of my inner world and start to be aware of the mundane
reality. I felt like a captive bird, the bars of an invisible enormous
cage around me, but still trapped. My castles fell, my kingdom vanished
and I started to be afraid of forgetting all the magic things I had
imagined. All around me was new and hostile, boiling with people that
couldn't really hear me, and all I longed was to be back again in my
shell. At the end of the song I portray the pacifying happiness of
abandoning myself into my own world of fantasy out beyond the furthest
end, far away…

Ann Mari Sjogren the Worlds oldest living Fairy Artist celebrated her 90th Birthday in Sweden on 1st January 2008 with a surprise visit from English fairy artist Myrea Pettit of Fairiesworld. Both artists were overcome with the emotion of the surprise party planned at the suggestion of Per Arne Skansen who was responsible to rediscover the talents of Ann Mari in 2001 and a lifetime of drawing and pictures that had lain unpublished for years. Since that time Ann Mari has had her work published in numerous books and magazines and newspapers and made TV appearances and radio interviews. It seems it is never too late for a real fairy to make her mark on a world eager to see her work first published worldwide in 1947 in A Day in Fairyland. Long live Ann Mari and Happy Birthday Blessings.
BBC attitudes to the Fairies World may be changing. Radio 1 is finally showing acceptance to the Pogues Fairytale of New York their hit back in the singles chart for the fifth time. see Fairytale of a fairytale

A group formed in facebook is demanding Gillian Gibbons’ release.
The “Release Gillian Gibbons Now” group carries postings from Sudanese contributors, condemning the arrest and demanding her immediate release.
“We demand the immediate release of Gillian Gibbons, a Unity High School teacher (in Khartoum Sudan) who has been: wrongly and unfairly arrested for making the ‘mistake’ of allowing her seven-year-old students to choose a name for a fellow students show-and-tell teddy bear… There is No reason whatsoever to even have a trial over a simple misunderstanding that could have been resolved by the parents and faculty!… Wake Up, Stand Up and Speak Up! Enough is Enough!
“Ask all your family and friends to join this group for the Immediate Release of Gillian Gibbons,”
Sara Madani writes: “The poor woman now is facing a cruel punishment as if the Sudanese government applies the laws of Islam, the Sharia… stupid government!

Kwan Yin has beauty above all beauties
She is a Princess – higher than any Queen
Depicted in folklore with Fairy likeness
Her compassion is boundless and serene
Her legend is vast and awe inspiring
To the Chinese she originates as Miao Shan
She has been renowned for four thousand years
And in Bodhisattva – is incarnated as a man
When Miao Shan died – she refused to go to heaven
Whilst on Earth one suffering being still remained
She brought comfort to all children – and the childless
Plus hope and the love of God – to those in pain
As a deity in all Asia she is known as Kwan Yin
Sometimes her name is spelt in different ways
In India she is Avalokitesvara – and no less famous
She is cherished in any form that she displays
At times she appears regal as a Buddha
And in paintings she is often floating in the clouds
Sometimes she is on a lotus or a dragon
And dispenses empathy ahead of religious vows
In truth Kwan Yin is a wondrous legend
To be welcomed everywhere she goes with open heart
For she is a devoted God Faerie to all children
And to distressed has selfless love that she'll impart
