ZEN I know a fairy who's name is zen Be nice to him and he'll show you his den Deep in the forest is a den or two in a far away place you never knew It's green and lush with unusual sounds and through the bushes small creatures bound with unusual noises and sensual smells There's other fairies with tinkering bells They fly around just out of sight And only appear in the still of night For they have secrets never told some astounding and some to behold Thats why they live far far away Deep in the forest their secrets lay Only to some do they show their wings On flower petals is where they sing So if you hear a fairy sing you know that it's a sacred thing Listen carefully, keep an eye out And if you see one never shout They keep to themselves always wary This is the way of every fairy Written for my daughter who loves stories about fairies  I must say I don't mind one myself  |

Tracie,I have no idea what ZEN means but I dont think it does this poem justice. This is a very sweet poem that you have written for your daughter. I would have named it just that "My Daughters Fairy Tale"...or something like that..sometimes the name alone will cause a great writing to get over looked.. Just trying to be help a friend(not that you need it). < !signature-->Today is the first day of the rest of my life. [This message has been edited by Wizzard (edited 02-11-2000).] |

If you would accept the ramblings of a "stute" resident...I must agree the title is in-appropriate for this piece. I have always thought the meaning of "Zen" to be the complete melding of one with the subject. A "be-comming" if you will,if only briefly to view the world through the eyes of that which you would emulate .I do like this post and hope to see more . Doc |

Wizzard your quite right about the title...Thanks. When I wrote this I thought Zen was a great name for a fairy, and yes I probably should have put more thought into the title...Thanks my friend Tracie. Dear Doc thanks for your ramblings they prompted me to look up the word Zen in the dictionary and there it was I had no idea that it actually does mean something...It's a Japanese sect of Buddhism who aim for enlightenment through meditation...thanks for the post Doc...Tracie |
