Tell a Fairy Tale Day

February 26th is Tell a Fairy Tale Day.

No, I don't know why or who declared it so. I just know that it is. (If you find the origin, please let me know.)

So, tomorrow, as I did last year (http://joshwriting.livejournal.com/189585.html), I will tell a Fairy Tale. I encourage each and all of you to do the same, even - or perhaps especially - if it is not ordinarily something that you do.

I would be honored if you would share with me whatever fairy tales you tell, and please feel free to share mine with others, if you are so inclined.

Wonderous Stories
(Anderson)

I awoke this morning
Love laid me down by a river.
Drifting I turned on upstream
Bound for my forgiver.
In the giving of my eyes to see your face.
Sound did silence me
Leaving no trace.
I beg to leave, to hear your wonderous stories.
Beg to hear your wonderous stories.

He spoke of lands not far
Or lands they were in his mind.
Of fusion captured high
Where reason captured his time.
In no time at all he took me to the gate.
In haste I quickly checked the time.
If I was late I had to leave to hear your wonderous stories.
Had to hear your wonderous stories.

Hearing
Hearing
Hearing your wonderous stories.
Hearing your wonderous stories.
It is no lie I can see deeply into the future.
Imagine everything
You're close
And were you there to stand
So cautiously at first and then so high.
As he spoke my spirit climbed into the sky.
I bid it to return
To hear your wonderous stories.
Return to hear your wonderous stories.

Hearing,
Hearing,
Hearing,
Hearing,
Hearing,
