Around the Corner

The flower fairies congregate around the lily pool then wait until the stars' resplendent light illuminate each floating pad. To taste the sound of petals' song how quietly... they drift along above the grove, all clothed in flames till pixies scatter dust on boughs. And winging through the air-brushed haze each little feather gleams anew, their lacy sequins all ablaze with varnished gauze of every blue. Through morning's rise, they’ll fade from view like stepping stones from me to you... if you believe, glide far away around the corner, there's a wand!

Though I'm not a fan of the fantastic, this is a step above most fairyland pieces I've read. Love that last line. Congrats on a super make-believe poem.
