Wonderland Acquainted
Descent into a gaping hole,
A cavernous design.
Where up is left and right is down,
No logic could align.
The ticking of the rabbit's clock,
Assault upon the mind.
Alerts to the unnatural space,
Time's cogs cannot unwind.
And yet…
Deeper into the massive shaft,
Pursuit of the unknown.
Leads to places few have seen,
And secrets never shown.
A hatter mad with tea for two,
A crooked Cheshire smile,
Unclear the rhyme do riddles speak
And beckon, stay awhile?
The Tweedledums, companion Dee's,
Just to name a few.
To queens with roses splattered red
Make up this motley crew.
However…
Beyond the strange façade it seems
Unusual first may be,
Derives the sense of commonplace
And familiarity.
So in this place of dream-like state
The dawning of a thought,
Perhaps this world is much more real
And reality is not.
And while this land of wonderment
Is both familiar and queer,
One can't help but to conclude:
In truth, we're all mad here.
