oh faerie one (rough draft)
by Michele Schottelkorb
come away
oh faerie child
into the meadow
so soft and wild
purple wings flutter
pink petals fall
leap through the forest
break down the wall
come away
oh faerie girl
prance and run
dance and whirl
golden toes twinkle
sapphire eyes gleam
skip through the pond
mend the seam
come away
oh faerie woman
listen and love
make time for fun
wisdom lines laugh
bless each day
remember your youth
make time for play 10/08/2003 Author's Note: this i will be working on this evening i think... (inspired by Yeats)
