Tonight, as I ventured out about the yard, with my camera in hand… it happened ONCE again.\u00a0 I heard a little voice.\u00a0 I couldn’t quite make it out.\u00a0 Then suddenly, I was surrounded by ALL that is Seusical.\u00a0\u00a0 Yes, there were red fish, and blue fish, and green eggs and ham.<\/p>\n

I began to see the unimaginable… and hear the strangest of things ….. all in rhymes.\u00a0 It might have frightened me… but I was too curious for that.<\/p>\n

So I looked to my left, and I looked to my right.<\/em>
\n I was startled a bit.\u00a0 But I stood there despite.<\/em>
\n I heard it again, a voice from the bluest.<\/em>
\n It sounded so small… it sounded so truest.<\/em><\/p>\n

Then off just beyond my shoes and my laces….<\/em>
\n I spotted there…just off twenty paces.<\/em>
\n On the wings of a bush, so wispy and fine…<\/em>
\n Stood a little seedling and it started to whine.<\/em><\/p>\n

“I’m going to do it… I’m jumping from here.<\/em>
\n I shall sail on the wind and I’ll do it… No Fear.<\/em>
\n I’m the seediest seed, on this dried up old limb.<\/em>
\n So while the sun’s still up….. I”ll go before dim.”<\/em><\/p>\n

It seems that I waited to know what to say…<\/em>
\n But that seed spread it wings and it floated away.<\/em>
\n High to sky on the heaven’s good breath.<\/em>
\n I was back all alone…. just after it left.<\/em><\/p>\n

:~::~::::~:::~::::~:~:~:~~~~:~:~:~::~::~:~:~~<\/em><\/p>\n

I thought it best… at that point….. to continue walking.\u00a0 I am keeping this one to myself.<\/p>\n
