The clock struck three,
Pushing me further
down the rabbit hole…
And nothing…nothing
at all!
So long, yet no time
at all,
As I fall.
One breath so fast,
and here,
Here I lay,
But where is HERE?
Is it night or day?
The past, the present
all combined,
Leaves questions
floating in my mind,
Yet soon they vanish
like bubbles in the breeze.
Where am I going?
Tell me please.
I find a door, I must
go through,
Drawn inside,
floating along as if my feet had no meaning or existence in this realm.
Drawn into a familiar
place.
Before me waits a
familiar face.
How long has it been
since I have seen you?
Since I have felt
your warmth?
Yet here you are!
Here you stand.
I don’t understand…
How can this be?
What more can I see?
As I reach for you
and envelop myself in your loving arms,
All of time and space
becomes meaningless.
The room fades into
the emerald emptiness of a field in summer.
Sunflowers tower
above me,
The yellow sea,
Stretching into
infinity.
Marshmallow clouds
toasted by the grapefruit sun,
Bring a smile to my
face as I wander on.
I wonder…
The madness so
ordinary,
So seemingly clear,
I leap and bound into
next year.
See the world as it
should really be,
I feel it looking
back at me,
Yet it all falls away
again,
Time, memories,
images, pain.
Things that once
were,
Things that will
never be,
Things that make no
sense,
Things I try not to
see,
Things right now
confronting me.
As I fall.
Into nowhere and
nothing at all,
Like Alice by the
riverbank with tales so tall.
Drifting colours,
Swirls of darkness,
Pulling me back to
reality for evermore,
As the moon shone
down,
And the clock struck
four…
