Fairy Tale

While playing my piano one fine summer's day
A liitle elf sat on my head and asked if she could stay
Then a pixy on my shoulder - who flew in on a leaf -
Whispered something to me and I gasped in disbelief

Though no one else could see them
They hopped onto the floor
Then danced around my feet
And right out through the door
I followed to the garden carefully on tiptoes -
And there they were both peeping
From the inside of a rose..


I asked them for some words
for a song I wrote today
But the little elf just smiled
and the pixy ran away...

I find it a difficult thing to reach back into one's life, find the child there and give it voice. I'm saving this to pass along to my grandson.
