Believe In Fairies
BELIEVE IN FAIRIES
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
spent many a day in woods, reciting,
listening to nature, meditating.
passers-by stop, some stop to listen,
some to ask why, without hesitation,
my reply, "for the fairies",
and they laugh till they cry.
I join in their laughter, for I am happy
to hear people laughing
in a world filled with fear.
before they walk on, I beg,
stop a while longer, listen,
look, now tell me, you agree,
not in fairies, but in nature,
its sounds, and what you see?
I bid them a good day,
but before they did go,
they looked where they trod,
and spotted a tiny pink rose.
when they looked up I was gone,
for I was that fairy all along.
