Wondering of Wonders in Wonderland

Halt child beauty!

Where do you go?

With your crystal blue eyes

Upon a countenance fit for a ravishing queen

With straw mounted so delicately upon thy head

A rabbit you say?

A meal I say!

"Nay!" you say?

"Tis my friend with a keen eye on time,

He must not be led astray!

With a woodland wit and a motive to serve a queen full of rage!”

That hole in the ground looks deep, dark and engulfing

Never ending, and yet you marvel with delight

Had I not have been this ripened state

I would have feared but nothing and jumped with haste!

Onwards and downwards you scream as do I

A child's curiosity may cause my demise

Then you land head first on a floor with lights?!

Traipsing through all that is beyond the norm

You eat to grow, you drink to shrink

You flow with ease and converse with trees

The flowers talk, blue yellow and pink!

A bird long gone, the Dodo flourishes

You sweet innocent child

You know not what you have found;

For this is the land of wonders, the wondrous land!

The land where you wonder, what is this land?

And when you see the talking birds,

The heartless queen,

The tea drinking hare,

His friend, with a hat so rare!

You crave what lies ahead,

You move fearless… a brave heart with flare

A cat with stripes

A Cheshire is its type

He lays on a fright

Yet you continue with delight!

You young lost soul,

Moving towards reality

In a land non-existent

You search for life

Forever persistent!
