ZEBRA'S TALE: A to Zed: A Children's Faery Tale
Once, in a Magic Land of far away and long ago,
There lived a song.
This song was lonely because,
though it was a very beautiful, joyful melody,
There was no one to hear it!
So, though it was a happy song, basically,
it began to want to jump around
and dance a dance In the hope that it might find
another magic song to share it's joyful melodies
In the meantime, I sat, alone, watching.
Where was "I"?
I didn't know Where, yet,
I didn't even know Who?
It was all one big Question Mark!
Then, all of a sudden,
In that far-away place,
I SAW
and HEARD
(Somehow, I don't know HOW)
That magic lightning SONG
and that SONG was
DANCING JOY
and SINGING LIGHT
and, EVERYWHERE in me,
watching and listening NOW
(I still don't know how)
that that song touched me
with the end of a phrase
or the dance of it's LIGHT,
I BECAME MORE
and, suddenly,
EVERYTHING HAPPENED!
For, the DANCE of LIGHT and SONG
made the stars and planets
and universes
danced and sang them on their way
so, someday, we could meet
HERE
and listen to a bunch
of flowering BEINGS
SING HARMONY TOGETHER!
And, we can all
LISTEN, TOO!
But, if you ask me,
I still can't tell you HOW,
because I'm too busy
DANCING and SINGING!
