Hey ya'll!
This third chapter is short too but the next one won't be. But first, I've made some changes, so go back and read the second chapter.
So here's the third chapter…
Chapter 3 …lullaby
Somewhere in a grassy plain, a lion lay sleeping peacefully into the night under a full moon. It was a fairly warm night. He was resting right by a ledge which grass grew all up the side and lead into a vivid jungle.
On that ledge right the lion appeared a old lioness, her muzzle pale and gray from age, assuring she made no noise. Her intentions were not to harm the lion but instead she smiled joyfully and felt an unconditional love at the sight of the lion. She recognized him as someone she'd lost long ago. So before she would go to her final resting place, she would sing one last song, a short song, just for him.
The words came to her as easy as she breathe air.
Quietly while you were asleep
The moon and I were talking
I asked that she'd always keep you protected
The lion didn't stir.
She promised you her light
That you so gracefully carry
You bring your light and shine like morning
Clouds started covering the moon.
And as the wind pulls the clouds across the moon
Your light fills the darkest room
And I can see the miracle that keeps us from falling
The lion's limbs twitched indicating that he was dreaming.
She promised you the sweetest gifts
That only the heavens could bestow
You bring your light and shine like morning
The lion still slept.
And as you so gracefully give
Her light…
…as long as you live
I'll always remember this moment…
A little short winded and weary the lioness faded back into the shadows.
"Good-bye, Muenda, my son...
And she was gone
Muenda rose straight up from his sleep, looking around a little. 'Wasn't someone there?' he thought. He paid it no more mind and laid his back down falling back to sleep.
That's it for this chap. And remember to answer that question I asked you at the end of chapter 2. See ya soon.
