A Hidden Place

In the calm and quiet forest deep
Where bonny fairies go to sleep

The stream runs so clear and sweet
Rippling where rock and water meet

Sunshine peaks through the green bower
Gilding the leaves in the waning hours


Tiny silver fish dart here and there
Music of the bees is everywhere

The day was perfect in this hidden place
In every corner nature's lovely face


Barbara Gorelick 6/2/11
For the Rippling Stream contest
