Here and there

Here and there

the little ones flit

caught by the breeze

on feathers they sit

Here and there

the shadows embrace

the beauty of green

with their darkling fine lace

Here and there

a sunbeam breaks through

to highlight the place

where faeries are true

Here and there

a memory is stirred

a nice reminder

of how life is absurd

Here and there

a scratch and shuffle

of silent creatures

searching for trifles

Here and there

the wind sings her song

through tree over field

with rhapsodical tongue

Here and there

the slow glide of life

it rambles along

without any strife

Here and there

this peace is broken

by the distant roar

of civilisation
