Sprite Fright

As

The mist

Is lifting

Tiny beings

Find themselves exposed

Seeking sanctuary

Of trees, bushes, and flowers

Too timid for interaction

With elementals of human kind

Waiting silently for mist to return

big balls

She sat and wondered

What causes it to thunder

Just before rain falls

Perhaps it’s fairies

Wanting to travel to earth

To give dirt a drink

This would help flowers

To bloom and grow big and strong

Moisture helps the seeds

Possibly it’s like

Her father once said  to her

Thunder’s clouds bowling
