The young man trudged along the desolate road in search of a sprite.

As sunlight filtered through the endless canopy,

His hollow eyes rimmed with exhaustion, told a story of loss,

Even as the ground below shimmered with luminous moss.

As sunlight filtered through the endless canopy,

A silver mist wove through the air,

Even as the ground below shimmered with luminous moss,

She emerged from the mist, like a dream

A silver mist wove through the air,

Her eyes holding the endless depth of twilight,

She emerged from the mist, like a dream

A tender radiant smile, melting his heart effortlessly.

Her eyes holding the endless depth of twilight,

Her lips brushed his in a kiss that tasted of starlight and longing

A tender radiant smile, melting his heart effortlessly.

“Sleep!” she whispered gently as the evening breeze.

Her lips brushed his in a kiss that tasted of starlight and longing

His eyelids grew heavy and darkness claimed him.

“Sleep!” she whispered gently as the evening breeze.

When he woke, she was gone and he was consumed by her longing.

His eyelids grew heavy and darkness claimed him

His hollow eyes rimmed with exhaustion, told a story of loss,

When he woke, she was gone and he was consumed by her longing.
