Not Yet...

a fairy story, an elf tale, for my faerie friends and faerie artists
Beneath the canopy of the puerile dahlia leaves
I waited for you.
Along came a snail instead.
He nodded as he slithered along.
"Do elves cry too?" he asked.
"Not yet."
We had quite a lot of time to talk about it.
He left me in a trail of tears.
Beneath the fragrance of the teeming dahlia nectar
I waited for you.
Along came a butterfly instead.
She smiled as she fluttered about.
"Do elves dance too?" she asked.
"Not yet."
We only had a moment to talk about it.
Then she painted the sky with colors.
Beneath the fuchsia crown of the dahlia petals
I waited for you…
Not Yet
