While wandering thru a meadow I saw the
most curious thing. I thought at first that I was dreaming.
Upon rubbing mine eyes and then taking a closer look,
I was awed at the site of a tiny winged creature. So slight
and delicate, a small breath might wisk her away. Her
wings were of the pailest blue, the cloth of her dress only slightly
darker. Her hair the shade of wheat was as long as she was tall.
She was sleeping on the petals of a wild flower. As I crouched
silently, she began to stretch. Oh so beautiful was this little sprite,
I could not help but stare. As her eyes blinked open, she gave
a small cry and took flight. So fast was she that I had no
chance to see her direction. Then as the sadness of loss came
upon me, I heard a whisper. So soft I might have imagined it.
"Hello and Good Day" it said. And then there was no more.
When ever I think of this tiny look into the Realm of Fairy,
It is always with a smile.
