well on my way home tonight and believe me, it was a very interesting night i heard the trees whispering. you know when the world is sleeping the business keeps getting done? Bunny tree was counting the stars and i heard him "five million google and seven, five million google and eight..." and i asked him Bunny why do you count the stars? he smiled as i drove by in the cool sweet smelling night "someone has to keep track of the dreams of children and that's where they hide...one on each star"
as i passed the Willow in the fiery yard (another story altogether) i heard him singing under his breath and it was such a deep rich song it could make you cry and dance with wild abandon..."this one walks in silence, he thinks his heart to be broken - his thoughts run wild and angry, these things he thinks unspoken...i'll sing to him tonight and in the morning he may smile. i'll gently hold his heart and let him rest awhile..." i asked Willow who is it you sing for? and he quietly pondered as i slowed for a passing truck "i sing for those who can't hear the song, and the ones who do should listen..."
Dirty Dirty stirred as i drove by in the night and she dreamt of suns yet to be risen; even the Mouse who i try to shun speaks stories to pheasants under the stars...
so dream in peace and awake in joy but always and forever there will be songs...
