Pixie Dream

By Jennifer Hu

I sing of life and long-lived dreams,
So many wonders at my feet.

I walked along a well-worn shore,
Bare feet traipsed a pebbled floor.

I saw across the ocean vast,
A sailor from a boat was cast.

He struggled great among the foam,
Tossed and battered and all alone.

I saw across the ocean vast,
The last few rays the sun had cast.

I ran along a mirror lake,
Leaving flowers within my wake.

I danced within a mushroom ring,
Dewdrops glittring upon my wing.

I flew away to see the moon,
She said, Come again to me in June.

I flitted across a shining star,
Collecting dust into a jar.

I went to catch a dragon rare,
But caught a dreamer unawares.

I dived into a waterfall deep,
And swam with glee at its feet.

I called out to the land below,
They answered back and said, Hello.

I called out to the sky above,
They smiled and sent some rain with love.

I sit upon a flower to sing,
To cast a spell of power to ring.

I pull at those unwary folks,
To fly behind realitys bulk.

I bring them back to suffer in vain,
Theyll never be so free again.

I am sweet, yet powerflly free,
Be careful of what I weave.
