Miracles

l saw an elfin figure dashing through the snow small
and white and fairylike whither does she go a little
figure on tip-toe dancing eerily silently swiftly
dancing darting from tree to tree l trudged heavily
through the snow and followed where she led and
when l thought l'd lost her l'd see her just ahead a
little eye a peeping from a wispy little face one
minute she'd be behind a stump and then there'd
be no trace l followed and l followed then sudenly
l found that l was lost in the woods with darkness
all around but still that little fairy in her will o the
wisp way giggled from behind the tree and beckoned
me to play l felt so drawn towards her her plea
l couldn't resist so following close behind her l
ran into the mist she showed me many miracles
in a land beyond the clouds a land of misty beauty
more wonderful than ours l rubbed my eyes in
disbelief and pinched myself to see if all of these
marvellous miracles were happening to but
when my eyes were clear again she wasn't to
be seen and l was still standing in the same
spot where l'd always been
