The Waterfall Maiden Part 2

For everyday since that meeting 
He came back to peer within
And Myla had grown brave
And began to talk to him

To the voice he listened intently
Always wishing that she were real
For the times that were spent together
Gave a joy he could not conceal

The day of the celebration arrived
Myla nervous but practiced and sure
Her beauty no one could deny
And her heart shown so loving and pure

When the dance was over and done 
The orchestra  played on with delight
But this is where Myla was frightened
For she wanted to run and take flight

The crowd full of handsome, young gentlemen
That all stammered to have a try
To dance a dance with Princess Myla
All of them did vie 

But Myla innocent and unknowing
Wanted simply to disappear 
For dancing with a stranger
Had filled her thoroughly with fear

Her gaze was pointed downward
When she heard a voice that soothed
And when her eyes looked upon him
She smiled for him she knew

They looked deep into each other’s eyes
As if they had met before
But the young prince knew he had not
And escorted her toward the dance floor

He could not understand his emotion
The depth of which he felt
This girl that he had just met
Had totally made his heart melt

Then she spoke a word, just a whisper
And a knowing inside him did rise
This beauty that was also a princess
Was his maid of the waterfall in disguise 

The dance seemed to last all night
For the rest of their lives they did twirl
For in the depths of this pond of water 
This prince found not a maid but a pearl

Dedicated to Myla Sydnee Downs Perry a gem of a girl

Dance of the Fairies

There’s a wondrous secret hidden place that I like going to
And if you’re very good my sweet I’ll share this place with you
It’s half in light and half in dark between the night and day
And if you’re very quiet you can watch the fairies play

They gather in the twilight on the far side of the hill
But if you want to see them, then you must be very still
No noise or movement can you make for they are very shy
And if they see you hiding there then far away they’ll fly

I like to watch them dance and sing beneath the silver moon
And listen as they play their flutes and blow a magic tune
After they have played a while they all prepare to eat
I watch as they prepare their meal so magical and sweet

They gather stardust and moonlight and cook them in a stew
And then they fill their tiny cups with early morning dew
When they have finished dining they will start to play again
And then my dear you’ll never guess what starts to happen then

The fairies gather one and all and right before your eyes 
They'll zoom into the starlit night on golden fireflies
Zipping back and forth they fly, racing with each other 
They dart along the hillside, first one and then another 

Chasing shooting stars they see throughout the moonlit night
They sing and dance together until morning’s early light 
So if you’re good my darling child you soon will get a chance
To come with me to a magic place and watch the fairies dance
