One Piece by Derrick Harrison Hurd


The Fairy Queen

When last I saw the fairy queen
arrayed in brightest green finery
I hid and feared of what on earth
the tiny sprite would ever make of me

"Come with me, see far off lands"
bid she with fairy-slender hands
"We'll fly o'er fields
swim amber streams,
make garlands out of children's dreams"

But...
stand I still
as I stood here then
and never trod the fairy glenn...
Nor ever again
such a since have I seen
as once....just once,,,
.I saw the fairy queen

For Gabriel and the rest of the heavenly host

{Poem by Derrick Harrison Hurd}
