I Saw A Fairy Princess Dance 🍂
Oh how I love to dream of fairies
can you imagine my delight?
I saw a real fairy in the forest just last night. she stepped into a clearing
with a certain kind of ease
as if one with nature
she floated with the breeze
higher higher ever higher
reaching to the sky
then slowly drifting down
as the wind began to sigh
at once she crossed the clearing
such gracious leaps and bounds
her music was a symphony
of all the forest sounds
creatures from near and far
became her dancing troop
a single moonbeam shinning
on leader of the group
she twirled in a corner
and awoke the fallen leaves
they whirled all about her
underneath the trees
frenzy gripped the clearing
mad abandon everywhere
it seemed that all of nature was celebrating there
suddenly silence…
a soloist began his song
and the fairy moved as if
to sing along
music and dance in a union
so complete the voice of the songbird came from the fairy’s feet
everywhere she touched
a new life began to stir
soon a path of flowers
began to follow her
she was caressed by moonbeams
till the light of dawn
when the first ray hit the ground
that instant she was gone
now the sun and moon
were hand in hand
both were shinning too
everywhere a golden glow
with moon beams twinkling thru
she left behind a field of flowers
where before the earth was bare
I wondered if that fairy
knew that I was there
was it the answer to my dream
or just by chance
I saw a fairy princess dance
