Lulu and Dwight

silver strains of stardust spiral onto the moon rubbing her eyes lulu awakes in a sugar bloom within the dimness of the moons silhouette she hears a familiar laugh she'll never forget a sudden flaming flash riding a tiny comet can it be is he really on it ping and bing lulu springs faster faster beat her gossamer wings up through the orangeberry skies fast as a sonic hummingbird flies passing the comet but he's not on it fluttering floating she missed him doggone it sulking sleepy was it just a dream even for a sprite life can be mean snap flap and a boyish laugh lulu flips over from push of her back dwight that sprite with his hair aflame grins while laughing out lulu's name race you to the littlest star zip and zoom he sprints hard lulu smirks and pouts what a jerk why should i, ooh dwight you jerk fast as light free as lighting speed of sprites smokes delighting dwight ahead flies on his back come on lulu your faster then that tripping angels ducking asteroids within space so much to avoid finally dwight drawn by it's light spins and dives out of sight lulu slows there he goes that silly boy only heaven knows lulu drifts hanging arms back stiff holding back tears with a sniff marshmallow clouds and a blue heart dipping her toes in mist where dew drops depart lulu slips back to her lunar sugar bloom a lock of red hair tied with littlest star perfume as the scent ascends a face appears dwight candy smile lulu happy tears
