A Beautiful Fairy
A beautiful fairy lays in a
field, reading a book by candlelight.
Several varieties of colored
flowers sways back and forth in a
summer eve’s breeze.
Seen in view is a wide amazing
waterfall, with different forms
of rocks. The flow of gentle water
cascades over them into an enormous
pool.
The sound of the waterfall is so
tranquil, almost like it’s singing a tune.
The evening creatures adds to that lullaby
that is really neat.
Chirping birds up above bids good
evening to all their friends. Fireflies
start dancing in the air about her head.
The dancing fireflies lighting up looks
like fairy dust. Her wings tenderly flutter
around then she bends her knees.
She’s mesmerized in reading her book.
I wonder what that book is about. Is it
fairy tales or about us silly mortals.
She hears barking dogs in the distance.
She blew out her candle and grabbed
her book.
She dashed through the waterfall, to a cave.
She watches the dogs and hunters pass
her right on by.
She lets out her breath, while relighting
her candle. She whispers to herself that
was really to close.
Now it’s time to finish my book and enjoy
the time that’s left of this beautiful summer’s
eve.
