The Tale of a Forest Leaf

On a summer day The Queen and her Faeries Went out to play Amongst the whispering trees So much joy to be found Amongst the Whispering Trees To hear bird sound The red squirrels chattering in the canopies All the trees were in full leaf So many different shades of deepest richest green With a blue sky above Golden sun A forest, filled with love The beauty to be seen Forest Faeries could be heard up high Amongst the green leaves Watching summer clouds passing by They called down to a Summer Queen Who was walking down below “We have special gift for a King” “Please accept this beautiful thing” “From all of us so” A beautiful leaf fluttered down Greens and golds Reds too A beautiful leaf In the shape of a heart, true “A leaf” “A leaf” They called from above “For a Kings’ cloak” A leaf that would never die Its’ colours would match seasons A leaf from the forest faeries Who live in trees, so high The Summer Queen Did know Blessed all around The leaf, she took For a leaf of deepest, richest colour Was perfect for a Kings’cloak Tonight she would sew a surprise The kings’ cloak was called for A Summer Queen sewed on the leaf A King, the proudly wore For, it shone with love A gift from the Forest Faeries and Whispering Trees When the Earthen King died The Summer Queen took The very leaf, from his side Blew on it softly A sweet westerly breeze Returned the leaf To the whispering trees A leaf of deepest richest green mourned a King The tears of the Summer Queen Love and magic Fulfilling The Whispering Trees Took the king, and made him part of everything
