Ivy shrouds a tiny house, made of glass and metal
Inside, a boy, so very small, tries his best to settle
Knowing danger is lurking, a face he does not know
Watching him, he tries to hide them, from this foe
Fairies flitter about him, dodging his every move
Surely, they know, this menace need be reproved
Carefree sprites, they continue, to taunt the face
Hoping, soon, he’ll forget, how he found this place
Perhaps, he’s a small one, separated from his own
Fearful for his tiny ones, of this he’ll not condone
And so the light, in the home, stays lit, without a fire
Never to wait in darkness, they begin to conspire
Wondering how to deal with what has them mystified
The man, with an unknown face, waits patiently outside
