Where fairies dream

Original Submission by Manuri De Silva

Where fairies dream

The morning light fell on sleepy hills

Where fairies slept in the night’s chill

The sky turned a fresh new blue

And the birds sang a brand new tune.

Through the forests went winding paths

The rays of the sun danced on the ground

Toadstool bloomed through flowering moss

The floor was adorned in hidden songs

Pixies jumped along wet stones

That dotted streams flowing along

The water murmured softly as it flowed

The pixies laughed at white pepper foam.

Little lights darted through the leaves

Stepping on toadstool near the stream

A new world comes alive in forests green

In the golden sun where the fairies dream.
