Plea

Do you think if I went out back and stood, Where the clean green lawn meets the wood And whispered softly in the night air I’m not afraid and I know you’re there. If I wished hard enough, do you think The fae would steal me away with a wink? And take me up with them to the sky That blue abyss where fairies fly? I’ve had enough of the human planet, I’m ready to eat the pomegranate. When they ask my name, I’ll tell them straight and accept my role as a foundling playmate. I’ll swim in a puddle and dance on the moon My dress is a gossamer cocoon. At the end of the day when I’ve had my fill I’ll go to sleep in a daffodil. Will the fairies come? My wish was earnest, But the waiting leads me to despair. I’ll have to finish my mortal quest If they leave my Earth-bound body here.
