Dream

A poem about fairies.

Stealthily
Creeping
Quietly coming
Up and down
and round about
Over and under, come out to play!
We are here to be merry
Shed your burdens and come out tonight!
Moonlight,
dance,
sing to the stars
Leap to the sky with the fireflies
flitting through your fingers
Hope and charm and beauty
all have substance tonight
Drink the nectar of the wild butterfly
while grasping the handle of the Big Dipper
We'll have joy on this ethereal night,
Till the dawn comes, and we creep to our beds
Clasping the sun's shadow in our hands
