The Fairy and the Cellist

The scene is presented as blue and the slightest tint of emerald

Bubbles floating through the cool air

A fairy playing her bronze trumpet wearing a pearly white tutu

A grasshopper playing his cello with a bow

Resting on a Lilly pad with a Sacred White Lotus revealing its true character

There is nothing but peacefulness in the air

Not a sound to be heard

But only the mesmerizing hymns being strung from the string and brass

If only you could hear it

Can you hear it?

Listen

The two likely friends continue to strum

 But quickly the piece is starting to slip into a daze

Slowly fading out

Measure by measure

If only you could hear it

Can you hear it?

Listen

The melody is finished

There is nothing more to be heard from the fairy nor grasshopper

The sound of a crowded street begins to creep back in

And welcomeS itself back into the mainstream of what we call "life"

If only you had heard it

Did you hear it?

Just stop and listen, please

Most if not always this melody has no meaning to thee.

I think you could make this into a children's book. So playful and fun. You could make it even longer too. :)

Thank you dearly. I have always wanted to write children's stories, I find them fascinating. So thank you so much for the nice review.

You have produced a magical piece of writing - well done! I liked the use of the repetitive 'Can you hear it? Listen' and also the last line. You must continue to write!
