Dreamy
Die Feder und der Ziegelstein
Im Zirkuszelt klingt Trommelklang, Fenn hüpft den roten Teppich lang. Da liegen Feder und Ziegelstein, auf einem Brett, so glatt und fein. Die Feder hebt sich, leicht und sacht, der Ziegel senkt das Brett mit Macht. „Der Stein ist schwer, die Feder leicht!“ ruft Fenn und staunt: „Das fühlt sich echt!“
Im Batik-Hof wird Stoff ganz blau, Dori färbt ihn, Mette schaut genau. Fenn sitzt still im warmen Licht, der blaue Stoff liegt glatt und dicht. Ein Ziegel hält den Stoff ganz still, die Feder tanzt, wohin sie will. „Der Stein bleibt hier, der Stoff liegt sacht, die Feder fliegt, vom Wind bewacht.“
Am Teich entlang im weichen Gras, geht Fenn mit Stein, der Weg ist nass. Er hebt den Ziegel, Schritt für Schritt, Dori und Mette kommen mit. Die Feder schwebt zum Schilf, ganz still, der Wind trägt sie, wohin er will. Fenn stellt den Ziegel auf den Stein, die Feder sinkt ins Schilf hinein.
Auf einer Wiese, weich und weit, legt Fenn das Brett zur Abendzeit. Er legt den Stein aufs Brett ganz sacht, die Feder drauf – der Wind erwacht. Der Stein drückt tief, das Brett geht schief, die Feder tanzt, als ob sie rief. „Schwer bleibt unten, leicht kann ziehn, Nun kann ich beides gut verstehn.“
