Petites and Faeries

Petites and Faeries, it is said, live just beyond that hill
       Their Moondust dazzles breathlessly, on nights so calm and still
Some town folk treasure innocence and so they understand
         That humble souls are they who settled just beyond their land

Not much is known of Faerie land, save for it’s golden glow
                     Surrounded by the ever bloom of flowered Thistle-toe
A bit of mischief often finds its way into the town
          When certain unexplained events cause some to bear a frown

The Faeries’ pranks are just a bit of fun to catch a smile
                         And often there’s a bag of gold left just to reconcile
Their gifts should not be squandered or dismissed without esteem
              For wondrous things can happen for our sharing to redeem

Petites and Faeries, man and creatures all to grace the times
                 A magic poem filled of peace with every line that rhymes
If Moondust could embrace the hearts of all who live nearby
         Perhaps, some would not run in fear when Faeries, they see fly

But hope lives on for anyone who sees the world with love
                Despite the differences of some who hold the world above
To end this tale on happy notes and songs to gather dance
                    Let’s say, that it’s all up to us and not just up to chance
