Sorry for the very long delay... There were problems about Blogger and I didn't know where to keep updating my work. Now, to something much better: This song-like little poem goes -as I use to do- with the music of a song that I like so much. In this case, "Love is", by Jon and Vangelis. If you want to follow it better, here's the URL: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qNlwKr0liHg&feature=related And the verses are sung by Zaphod, right when he knows the final came to him but somehow knows that the Flower he loved so much will be there, waiting like she always did. Flower, please hear the fading voice of this King going to find your open arms and have at last the rest I need that you alone can give... Long time ago it seems to me since you're gone to find beyond Earth your way to Heaven. Days of foraging full of adventure seem so forgotten like our lost childhood, but in our meeting we will remember them. We built a kingdom strong as our marriage... Now I can tell you that our empire didn't fade away after you gave your life for us. My loving Flower, guide me to your heart between the million stars... Just then we'll conquer some new world for us... King and Queen, as one.
Hear the soft voice of your heart this day and you will feel surrounded by love bells... Put in yourself a necklace of flowers, picture yourself with a beautiful dress... Yellow or white, or maybe of Springtime. Voices go singing all around the World... And as they try to reach every heart like Hummingbirds do when looking for nectar, eternal old dreams of love come to life... Never ending since then, making us smile. The Meerkats in love hunt will never waste time in finding their twin soul and then sing this song... "Nothing on Earth now can tear us apart... Endings can be only to a new beginning, for our spirits will watch the Sun rise every morning". On the clouds, only the lovers see always Roses at dawn and Violets at sunset... Many a Meerkat gather to enjoy endless love dances, newborn romances, eternal bonds or love at first sight. Rise with the Sun, in the arms of your sweetheart, King, Queen or Princess, with full right to love... And raise your hand only with a present to make your love dream shine in big smiles... Smiles for a moment, joy for each day. (Edited today, 9 / 24)
The December 23 was about to end, in many places of the World. In the homeland of Meerkats, a soft but strange light could be seen as if coming from the sky... A light that seemed to grow as the hours went by. The Starsky Mob had been foraging and having some problems with the Aztecs, who attacked them two or three times. Suddenly all the members of both groups stopped right where each of them was, after having heard the cry made by a huge bird of prey; only this time, no one would think in running straight to the shelter of a burrow... They only stayed there, looking upwards, and soon this is what they saw: The white, soft light spreading all over the desert seemed to get a little denser, having a globe-like shape with the size of the Moon. It stood there for hours, vanishing only after midnight, and only to return at dawn. So, that very special day, it was like no one could think about food of any kind, under the influence of that strange new Moon. And no one was suffering from hunger. When it returned, in Christmas Eve, it looked even bigger... Much closer to the ground. And it was so. By midday, that Moon showed yet another mysterious shape: right in the middle, a little standing figure seemed to shine in gold and pink at the same time... When that figure appeared, all the newborns in the Kalahari felt refreshed, healthy and with their bellies full up. But, who was such benefactress presence? Because along with the light had come a sensation of cold, but even with this no one was feeling bad. Between the hours of evening and the night, the little Moon descended to the top of a tree, always with that presence inside. And, could it be that it had little wings, like the Butterflies'? ...Well, yes: two pairs of them. And could really be that the little figure looked so much like a Meerkat? Again, yes, because that's exactly what the Starskys and the Aztecs saw immediately; and their eyes could never be wrong. Finally, could it be that some of the astonished watchers recognized that winged figure as one of them? Well, the answer can only be: "Yes!" ...Because suddenly the little presence started to talk, somehow, from the tree; and her words were sent to all, no mattered if it was Bird, Meerkat or Snake. "Maybe you are very surprised, my good enemies and very good old friends. But I felt the desire of making a little visit to some members of my family; and to my own surprise, I'm here". "I won't talk about old times, now, they're a big shadow covering my past, which turned me into a dark Moon". "Now I can't return; at least not yet, but there's only bright light in me... You should actually see me like a little star. But never mind, good people. My presence here has another reasons". "I wanted to bring this very night, to my own homeland, a little gift from very far away. One wich could bring a new freshness to all who must live in this desert". "So accept what I'm giving, everyone, and stay tonight creating white burrows that tomorrow will be a pleasant memory, because I don't think I can do it again next year". The first snowflakes started to fall, from the grey mantle of light, covering the whole desert... Still over that tree, the faerie-like figure watched her "little world" being covered, but remembering for a moment her sorrowful past... "No", she said to herself. "That's lost in my memory, now... And what was my name? Oh, of course, they called me Mozart. But even that, is in the shadows of my past. Right now, if they could see me, I'd like being called something like... 'Lady Faerie'. Yes, that would be a very good name". "The only sorrow in me, this time, is the impossibility to join them and play -even with Eagles and Snakes-, all through this beautiful night... The night that snowed in the Kalahari".
There was a strange planet ten million stars away, in which Meerkats were always very happy and free. It had mostly deserts to play, and sleep, and thrive in; but even more than that, they had a true Queen. And she was so famous among her old people, that no one ruled better In their desert planet... Only the Big Flower: Queen who came from Heaven.
