When Alice fell down a rabbit hole, who anticipated that she was going to step into paradise? It was wonderland, and one assumes that it’s going to be all unicorns and rainbows. It tested her courage, her power to survive through all the weirdness. We all fit in that metaphor, trying to make it through life. This piece takes you through the same rabbit hole, but reminds you that you’re not alone.
my eyes wander
through the depths
of what the world sees
as the rabbit hole
I found it off-tune
but somehow synchronised
to make my heart dance
to its own rhythm
in some twisted way
I liked it
stardust clouding,
the flowers and the tea
and as I stand there
I see a mysterious gaze
a cue-
as you stretched out your hand
‘let me show you wonderland’
