THE FAIRY I KNEW

 

In the land of mountains

Amidst the valley vast,

There lived a sweet soul

On the golden crust.

She was so unique

That I have never seen,

Such an asset of virtues

Even in my dreams.

All praises for her

Are hueless to her light,

She is a thousand fireflies

Amidst the darkest night.

A little was she unknown

And maybe a little shy,

But without her golden touch

Even the heavens run dry.

She was the elixir

Whom even Gods search,

She was the beaming beacon

Ahead the holy march.

She was like a sparkling gem 

Or a diamond on the earth,

I'm sure she must be proud

Of such a supreme birth.

In intelligence, she is unmatched

In fun, she is the top.

With the outlook of traditions

And a heart of hip-hop.

The best blend you can find my friend

Always ready, to live and laugh

With cuteness, she turns swords down

And with passion, she spreads love.

With the amazing power of visualization

She dreams a reality,

And could play on the screens of her mind

The story of every entity.

And then her polymath side comes up

As she pens and brushes on canvas,

She can bring life to everything

Even to the perplexed corpus.

Only she goes faceless

When a character appears to her,

But I know one day she would overcome

And develop her skills way far.

Juxtaposed with a logical hunger

She pins down art so well,

That even Vinci might feel ashamed

To know about her grace.

Where can you find such talent these days?

In the world of bits and bytes,

As you find a broad blue sky

Adorned with colourful kites.

Some might think she is weird

Some might praise her goods,

But for me, she is beyond all claims

Like the princess of life in the woods.

And I am lucky, to be born into a race

And be acquainted with such a girl,

Bestowed with talents and adorned with virtues

Like a throne with pearls.

And I can be sure and claim it to all

That she is the rarest few,

For, all I saw were just wax statues

Except, the fairy I knew.
