Plea to a Fairy in Danger

Clip your wings
And you'll be a wood mouse
Ground-tied
Timid
Scurrying
What will you offer your world
As you nibble on acorns?

Fly, fly!
Transparent beauty
Candle in the storm
Glass castle on the rocks
Leave fairy-dust in your wake
Flitting, elusive
Touch briefly the mundane
So it, remembering, glows in after-light
