I was walking on a green field when a cyclone came and picked me up,
He wrapped me in dark whirlwind, so I screamed that no one could ever stop;
When he was annoyed, he dropped me somewhere,
In front of a laughing pixie who was as big as my toy teddy bear.
I stood up and cringed just like my cute Dalmatian puppy,
Until I realized I’m in front of the world’s most gigantic tree;
The pixie stepped into a huge trunk door and he invited me inside,
My fear relented…”So, what can I do for you?” I cried.
He took his pair of chopsticks and lit them like magical firecrackers,
“My little girl-a green lover, come … I’ll show you the world’s best wonder”
A silver silky carpet suddenly laid in front of me,
And we walked along together on a long avenue of green trees.
I was deeply fascinated by the splendid view zooming at my sight,
In different hues of green trees with their colorful flowers so bright;
Heavily laden with fruits, lauded by the triumphant songs of nesting birds,
It was already the sweetest and the most beautiful music I've ever heard.
As I wondered around in gape, cold breeze hugged and kissed my rosy cheeks,
Suddenly, the pixie turned into a green bird preening itself with its red beak;
While perching on my shoulder, we headed off to crystallized springs and
waterfalls,
Lovely maidens were bathing there… I heard their melodious songs and calls.
I could not almost believe on what I’ve seen…
A true paradise with angels’ scents and heaven’s scene;
As I sat on green grasses to watch them, I still looked around,
I saw a big stone in green molds, engraved : Paddy’s Day Is All Around.
All insects in kaleidoscopic colors hovered above me,
When one of the maidens pointed at me, I was dressed like a little fairy;
She beckoned and said, “Come my sweet girl, please join us and be happy”,
I smiled as I saw the sunlight dancing through the forest windows -so gaily.
Oh, how wonderful to be in a magical green forest!
Where undomesticated animals were even tamed in my white dress;
Small creatures danced in pairs on clover leaves and on Bermuda grasses,
And the monkeys and rodents ran and swung on those lively branches.
I jumped and turned around with my beautiful dress in extreme joy,
I wished it was real and I thanked the pixie who was as big as my toy,
After a while, I felt someone shaking me, screaming, “Sissy wake up!”
‘Twas my li’l brother inviting me to plant trees while the sun was still up.
