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.
