A Convention of Fairies
~*~
Prisms of many colors filter down
Down deep into the chasms below
Below the earth's surface and then
Then the ground soon begins to glow
This begins the convention of fairies
Fairies come from both far and near
Near and dear to our hearts they are
Are they ever found fraught with fear
I think not as they always seem happy
Happy, I do not associate it with tears
Tears of those who might be afraid
Afraid of even their shadows for years
Fairies sparkle and they have powers
Powers over all including mortal man
Man can try to catch a fairy in a jar
Jar kept fairies you won't find in this land
Fays, the enchanters and enchantresses
Enchantresses always the prettiest by far
Far away live the nature fairies of the sea
Sea fairies are mermaids, a pirate's hurrah
Enter kings and queens of distant tribes
Tribes of little sprites, leprechauns and gnomes
Gnomes are the guardians over sacred things
Things made of precious gems and stones
The elves dance and play stringed instruments
Instruments play a huge part in this gathering
Gathering all together when the maestro begins
Begins playing fairy songs they all like to sing
After the evening of fun and games was nigh
Nigh also was the moon and stars in the sky
Sky flights in the night, some fairies flew home
Home but will meet again in the sweet by and by
