Sunshine On a Moonlit Night

Bursts of laughter and splashes of colour
Sounds of hilarity and tales of adventure
Sparkles of light and folklore dancing
Merriment dominates the order of things

Hark to the woeful, hear not sad cries
For tonight is the night the faeries unite
Capricious beings in evolving couture
Smiling and playing, the laughter just hear!

Assimilation of races, all kinds of faces, 
Confined in just these small little spaces
Look here. look there and harmony you will find
Conviviality combined with reminiscinces abind

T'was not fear and loathing that caught my eye
But laughter and sunshine on that starry night
