FOREST FAIRY

The forest was gentle

And chirping so sweet,

And happy she flew

Reaching flowers with feet.

All night long she so fluttered

And played with the leaves,

Chatting with beasties,

Her tender heart ´s thieves.

She drank the night dew

From the petals of flowers,

She felt tiny, and the trees

Seemed like high castle towers.

As the night breeze caressed

Her butterfly wings,

The fairy flew higher

To the sparkling things.

The moon called them stars,

She loved their light,

Like diamonds they sparkled

On the blanket of night.

And the fairy felt free,

Welcomed by every creature,

As the nature was generous

and shared its every feature.

The fairy wished time could stop

And she ´d just stay there forever.

But her inner clock kept ticking,

Ruthless, but honest as ever.

And she knew dawn would come

And this music would end,

For the sun was close by,

Dozing just round the bend.

She flew down on a mushroom,

Curling up like a child,

Wishing life would be this calm

And reality mild.

She soaked up the sounds,

Bathed skin in fresh air,

Eyelids closed up like veils,

Keeping distance from cares.

So she sat in the forest,

Just feeding her heart,

She hated to wake up

And with this world part.

This dream was serene,

Her sanctuary, her shrine.

In her forest all were good

And everything went fine.

When awake, she is different,

Wears a mask – we all do.

But if you visit her forest,

She ´ll reveal herself to you.

Daytime keeps her in shoes,

Wings hidden under clothes,

Her flight is a walk,

Her song has no notes.

But these seconds before dawn,

Stealing them from the time,

She ´s a real forest fairy,

Eternal in rhyme.
