FAIRY

Itty bitty fairy floated over to me, sparkles followed after her as she perched on my knee. I observed her little fairy dress made out of autumn leaves, they were glued tightly together with honey from the bees. Her chestnut wavy locks came down to her waist, and suddenly, she turned around and fluttered away in hast.
Sometimes I wonder if she was really there, with her autumn dress and her wavy chestnut hair. Sometimes I wish I could turn back time, put her in a jar and make her mine. But that would be wrong, I’m glad she’s free. Maybe someday she’ll comeback for me.
