three faeries bring joy to the meadow

three faeries with beautifully veined transparent wings arrived at midnight Not unlike Pan who had been there before, they brought happiness light. Their mission was to add some levity and joy to the current night life I sneaked up on them in silence, feeling more voyeur than young wife. Silent in the deep weeds, I watched the three faeries frolic and play in fun. If I made a loud song, they would be gone way before the returning sun. At three a.m. I sneezed, and the entire faerie brigade stood perfectly still. “Come on out!” one demanded, staring at the neighboring hill. Out came a dragon, a buzzard, two raccoons, a squirrel, a frog and a fish. The fish was in a bowl, being carried by the raccoons, as if a delicate dish. We will teach you some dance moves, the faerie queen said, “okay?” More was going on, but a the sandman in a dream whisked me away. I know what I saw, I am not wrong about that. I still see these three faeries, at the drop of a hat. Sometimes I sneak out at midnight to try to glimpse them again. So far, I have come up empty, but some day, it will be a win.
