![]() Distant SeasA Chapter by Dave Brown![]() 😁![]() A
little mouse came to our front door Outside,
terrible weather was freezing Asking
if he could come in and be warm Desperate,
we’d be appeasing Certainly
braver than I would be But
it was ‘that’ time of season Desperate,
because he’d perish outside With
that weather being none too pleasin We
made a small, lined matchbox bed Beside
our fireplace heat Bringing
both water and best of cheese For
the sorry little creature to eat Gratitude
shone from soft brown eyes There
seemed to be a connection As
he lay his head and slept Knowing
he’d face no surprise When
we woke the next morning Breakfast
was waiting on the table A
handsome young man also waited Waiting
to relay a short fable Of
how he had once been mean and cruel Becoming
someone, no one could trust How
the fairies and their princess Were
going to turn him into dust When
he begged for their mercy They
instead, turned him into a mouse With
the condition that to survive He
had to be invited into a human’s house At
every door he was screamingly rejected Mercilessly
chased by dog and cat Until
with the last ounce of desperate hope It
was outside our front door, near frozen he sat A
mouse he was, but broke our hearts Freezing
weather had him next to dead We
had guaranteed he would live on When
he’d lay down his exhausted head He’ll
leave us when next spring’s blossom’s burst Back
to the fairies, the birds and the bees And
each sunny morning on our flowered patio They’ll
bring us warm coffee from distant seas © 2020 Dave BrownReviews
