Shadows in the fire
Pigments of light by a flower
Joyful laughter tinkling in my ear
Whispers of magic that’s all that I can hear.
In the corner of my right eye I see a joyful sprite
In the corner of my left eye a fairies laughing in delight.
Walking through the woods
With my little friends all around
I hear a lyrical voice
I look to the ground.
To my surprise
To my delight
A leprechaun was right in my sight.
Frolicking with his pot of gold
I’ll tell you now it was a sight to behold.
Going to a stream
To get a sip of water
I knelt by a mother unicorn
Watching her daughter.
Running through the fields
Neighing in innocent joy.
I smile and look to my left
I see a mermaid and mer-boy.
Friends of the past I call them by their names
The call me into the water
To wade and play games.
Diving and swimming ‘till dusk arrives
It’s regretfully time to go home
Time to say goodbye.
Waving bye to the mer-people
Unicorns
Leprechauns
Fairies
And sprites.
Walking out of the woods
Out of the field of delights
Walking to a bridge I look at a girl
Taking a deep breath
I jump back in with a whirl.
Seven year old Haley wakes up with a yawn
Looking around her room she reminisces
About where she’s gone.
Hearing her mother call, she smiles a grin
Time for another ordinary day, to begin.
