Faerie Wings - Tracy R.Cardinet2004©Cal USA
Dreaming of fireflies last night
She felt happy just to be
Witness to a faerie flight
An enchanting sight to see
*
Their color was astounding
They shone yellow, like the sun
Fluttering in sky, abounding
She loved them, everyone
*
Flying pixies, lanterns glowing
Each one, a wish fulfilled
Part of her, aware and knowing
They could only stay until
*
Slumber’s hold grew weak and frail
Forgoing magic for the dawn
When the night begins to pale
Firefly faeries are all gone
*
Within their realm, but for a time
Where rules cabbages and kings
Entertained by her own mind
She, too, had faerie wings
