Cascading waters sparkle - sheer bliss
beneath the falls a shimmering mist
gypsy-like feet dance & prance
Is this a creature from minds eye – would I succumb?
certainly a sprite of delight - ever so shy
inconspicuous, invisible, surely no larger than a thumb
This ancient soul seems now energized
now so deemed; certain, apprised
these feet gypsy-like prance in mirror stance
As the waters part again they close
the sprite of delight now, merely the dew of a rose
yet, her vigor remains; oh, how I welcome the stains

This is a sparkling bit of poetry. Filled with magic and fairy dust! I just love the little sprites to death! Love your poem more...

Sometimes it such a balm to be able to create a fantasy realm there to escape even for a brief time 
Have a glorious week!
