Sonatas VII-8 (Dolce Capriccioso) The Faerie Dance Sonata
The trees were bathed in sunlight, in a reflective pool,
Where faeries flew and danced on treetops,
Sprites and mermaids played in waters crystalline and cool.
I saw a crescent moon of sunbeams ripple,
Shining like a pearl and jeweled tiara
Floating toward a faerie waiting for her true love -
Not a love that is fickle.
Did my eyes play tricks on me?
"No! You silly, we have given you the gift today to see!
You silly - you can see us and you hear the music too!
Today you have the gift of seekers,
Those who see your pictures
May receive it too."
