Betwixt

She was a faerie
an elfin
a creature of the land
living in harmony
with the universe
the forest
in her element
her nesting ground
a magical being
transient
reluctantly
crossing over
dragged down
falling off the edge
a misadjusted weight
drowning
gasping for air
a fish out of water
who didn’t fit in
or belong
in our realm
