Through the Rabbit Hole

I’ll gladly follow the bouncing white rabbit
through hedges grown high
and openings grown closed,
deep, deep, deeper into the maze
to where the sunlight turns a misty grey
and the moonlight paints me into a luminous puppet,
controlled by fantasy and sheer indulgence.
An impish reflection dances through ferns,
splashes through cola brooks
and dances with kangaroos
through the scent of sweet  blossoms
that open the door to wonder,
transforming the chaos of a rambling mind
into a playground carousel of magical sounds
and lights…
free from restriction, free from restraint,
free from our neighbours bounds;
and delight instead in the tea of laughter
with the joker, our host for the night…

  1. Ha! Cola brooks and bunny hopping with kangaroos.
    (can tigger be there, too? I love to bounce!)
    I breathe deeply to read this, shads, and my heart takes wings.
    Only you can improve wonderland.
    And i'd follow an emerald glow anywhere.
    ~still wanna race you to the moon:)

  5. Babe, you are on a roll! These daily pearls are what I expect to discover on every night of the fullest moon. We are blessed!

    And...I'd like to follow also that "bouncing white rabbit" through all the goodies of the Universe to that door opening turning point: "...transforming the chaos of a rambling mind
    into a playground carousel of magical sounds
    and lights…" FREE!

    Love the whole idea (rabbit follower-Peep), but especially the "transformation".
    Again, and always...
    PEACE!
