A Fairy Has To Face It-Collaboration
Once upon a time when I was a little girl
I knew the sun fairy quite intimately
It SEEMS SO LONG AGO since I was UP EARLY
For day breaks first kiss of sunlight
I bathed in the sparkling dew
and cast gold dust over sun’s first rays
To wake the flowers and start the birdsong
Then watching in the gentle light
As sleepyheads start to toss, FULL OF PEP, arise
I’d follow winding paths to wake the apples
Find the gardens already stretching
I’d twirl about with the adrenaline of wakefulness
Oh, BUT I DID LOVE THEM, those EARLY MORNINGS long ago
I’M PAST MY PRIME now, as fairies go
And another has taken my ethereal sun wings
To dance with sunbeams in a tango for two
