Dawn's Visitors

Waking, I heard a lovely song. Somehow, the music didn't belong. Bell-like in tone, to softly please. Perhaps was only summer's breeze. Dreamlike music, not lasting long. I opened blinds and there, askew pocket-size fairies spritzing dew. Midst them smiled a green leprechaun. Their tiny laughter welcomed dawn-- wee pixies only rainbows knew. Sun starts its rise and day begins. Their music stops, their graceful spins. Quickly, they leave in group as one. In dawns, I search; in wind they've gone. They filled my dreams with violins.
