Sometimes I wish the world was as simple as the sky.
Those two blinking dots rising one step at a time aren’t planes. They’re fairies flying higher, chasing each other beside the twilight clouds.
That purple swirling one over there is a dolphin. Its mouth is open, ready for fish. Ready for us.
I wait for it to move. But instead, I watch the fairies fly over the dolphin with ease. It never pays any attention to them.
And I know the world can’t be that simple.

Hi Robin. Would it be OK to feature this poem on my blog (with appropriate citation and link)? I’m doing a post about reading for pleasure and not having to analyse everything we read. This would be a great example of something that doesn’t need to be analysed to be enjoyed. Let me know. Thanks.

Wonderful! I’m going to look for fairies in the sky tonight, even though it’s not that simple. I want to believe they are out there. 🙂
