A Tale of Things

A fire roared amidst the oaks
as the village elder spoke.
He spoke of fairies, imps, and greens
of leprechauns, and magic beans.
He told of lost worlds to explore,
he told of treasures of gems and more.
He spun a tale of dragon’s wings
a tall tale of dwarfs and things.
The worth of all the old man told;
far more precious than any gold.
