An Animated Spark

Once, a long, long time ago
in a land far, far away,
lived a courageous princess
whose heart believed in fairies.
The folklore of the day was
if you saw a fairy fly
by and made a wish, either
it'd grant your wish or kill you.
So, let me tell you a tale
of the day she made her wish,
and how she came to venture
into woods where fairies flew.
Be it true or make-believe,
she was afraid of nothing
and would not let herself be
intimidated by fear.
She saw a fairy in flight
like an animated spark,
whose fiery, luminous wings,
left contrails of sparklers.
She silently spoke her wish
just as the fairy vanished,
and she never told a soul
what she secretly wished for.
But we're told the villagers
never went hungry again
and everyone wore a smile,
although nobody knew why.
