| A Faerie Tale |
Walking through the forest on a hot summers day Damp and humid, can't keep the mosquitoes at bay My water has run out, I feel I'm about to collapse My feet can't carry me, not much longer I will last Then I hear something, a sweet delightful sound I look up ahead to see what I've found The trees begin to clear, a gentle breeze blows A forest oasis! - To the cool water I go I eagerly jump in, the water is so refreshing I leisurely swim, and count my blessings For this oasis is not on any map I look around and wonder where I'm at This place is surreal, somehow not of this Earth So peaceful and quiet, yet full of joy and mirth I have an idea, but to think it I'm wary Could I somehow have traveled to the land of Faerie? I look for a clue to see if I am right All looks normal, it's what I feel inside It's like the weight of the world was lifted off my shoulders A warm feeling inside, and feeling I'll never grow colder I climb out from the water, take my clothes off to dry Then I hear a giggle and look for a place to hide! I jump back into the water, for it's my only cover Then look back to the bank to see who has discovered A beautiful woman, there holding my clothes A smile on her face, my embarrassment shows She sets down my clothes, and kindly turns away Now I am dressed, but I don't know what to say I try to speak, though all I do is stutter Who is this woman? My heart is all a-flutter The most beautiful woman I ever have seen This can't be reality, it must be a dream My thoughts she reads, or perhaps my demeanor And speaks to me softly, about why I have seen her "You are not dreaming, this land is real. I brought you here, for I know how you feel" "You seem out of place in the world of your own. A different spirit and your kindness is known. So if you desire, you may stay here with me. Yes, you are right, I've brought you to Faerie." In the world I live in, I am out of place I never was one only out to win the race So I've spent many hours walking through the forest alone But now I see... I may have finally found a home |
