Dear Alice

My Dear Alice-

Through the looking glass once did you peer

And see a world unknown drawing so near

Was a call upon your heart pulling you down

Into the rabbit hole deep with that echoing sound

Did you know where your feet soon would stand

Or know what you would find in this strange new land

Alice, from there did you find your pathway home

Please tell me the way–how did you know?

For my heart’s lost in time down this deep rabbit hole

And I cannot stop exploring this world of unknown

Is it safe here to trod? That I do not know

But still I find that down the rabbit hole I go

The pulse of Time’s heart plays games with my mind

And my understanding of self is beginning to unwind

So far away seems the world that I know

As this longing to go deeper continues to grow

For time has no cause here nor fight to the death

My lungs are confused to find their own breath

What season is passing, Alice–do you know?

For down the rabbit hole deeper I go

Unknowing this future that lies before me

Enshrouded within a new world I cannot see

Now lost to the familiar of whence I have been

Down deeper the rabbit hole I go yet again.
