Elemental Wingding

They meet, eat and drink, flutter and make merry. Smiles flying from face to face, laughter airy. They share a party of the soul and spirit; their portrayal of mere humans satiric. Laughing at our silly, paranoid folly they point and guffaw, “Oh gosh, oh golly!” They mimic us; watch as fear takes our good senses; cover faces with gossamer, hide behind fences. They laugh, sing and flit until time to sleep – dreaming of foolish humans being led as sheep neither caring nor daring thoughts of their own, their leaders controlling – independence flown. They awake and wonder, “What does this day bring? A new year party with bright baubles and bling!” Faeries, nymphs and sylphs plan a gala with friends to last through the year – their party never ends.
