Fairytale

 

Serge Kozachuk “Fairytale”

 

Afternoon on a Hill

I will be the gladdest thing

Under the sun!

I will touch a hundred flowers

And not pick one.

 

I will look at cliffs and clouds

With quiet eyes,

Watch the wind bow down the grass,

and the grass rise.

 

And when lights begin to show

Up from the town,

I will mark which must be mine,

And then start down!
