'Flight', Of The Broken Wings
In the dark hollows
Under a dusty grey sky
Lay hidden
From prying human eyes
A small dingly dell
Within this dingly dell
Lived a small community
Of fairies
And one of these fairies
Whose name was 'Flight'
Was a wing repairer
'Flight' flew
Just above the flower heads
Collecting
Silken spider webs
The thread of which
When woven
Would repair damaged wings
And things
Yet she was unable to easily repair her own
When torn, upon a hawthorn
She deftly wove herself a cocoon
As hibernation followed
Until the next full moon
When the full moon came
She came out
From within her silken shroud
And flew upon
A sultry zephyr
Hither, and thither
Pirouetting once again
Around the secret wood
'Flight'
Changed her name to
'Flighty'
Or so it was later
Generally understood
By all the other residents
Within the dingly dell wood
