Dream Fairy

When I was young and much gullible,

Grandma told me you were real.

If I be obedient, good and bright,

You will visit me in the night.

Reward me with good dreams,

Sweet, happy ones and many treats.

Having grown up I wonder,

If it wasn’t all a blunder,

To believe in you Dream Fairy, 

Perhaps you are just a grand story.

I haven’t seen you in many a year,

Do you even exist my dear?

Yes I do, said a voice from the deep,

I linger above while you sleep.

Looking for a gateway to enter your slumber,

You have dug a moat and the walls are higher.

How do I enter, you have built a fort,

Shut me out, tied yourself in many a knot.

Do yourself a favor, loosen the bind,

Take a break from the daily grind.

Don’t confine your spirit in unseen cords,

Let it fly, release it from the tightening bonds.

Only then you can sense me, I heard faintly,

I wonder if it wasn’t the Dream Fairy.

I am the Dream Fairy, the voice assured,

Revisit the past, remember what you heard.

Believe, have some faith, as you have had,

As a little girl on your grandma’s lap.

I have always been here and will be,

It’s you who got lost, as grown ups tend to be.
