The Road to Wonderland

Deep inside the garden below.
Creatures and fairies approach. 
Moths and butterflies fly around.
Bees make buzzing sounds. 
The flower petals fall with the wind.
The colors can only be found within. 

Walk along the water’s coast.
Mermaids and sirens sing a low tune.
Crabs in their shells run across the sand.
The fish swim with the beat.  
While the seashells whistle along with the wind. 
The colors can only be found within. 

In the center of the city's lights.
Birds sing while dogs bite.
Ants grab the food on the ground.
Squirrels sprint from tree to tree. 
The dragon pokes its head into scene. 
The colors can only be found within. 

The forest glistens as the sun sets.
The fox runs through bushes. 
The leprechaun awaits his gold. 
The rabbit hops between the vines.
While the deer prances from behind.  
The colors can only be found within. 

Up in the clouds way up high.
The unicorn strays alone. 
No one to care for them as they watch as the colors grow and grow.
From mountains, and canyons, from gardens big and small.
The unicorn has seen these creatures fall, 
But when will you notice you're different from them all?

  • The Sun In Sight

    Perspective in the palm of my hand
    Fast, slow, fallen like sand
    Goals to achieve
    Missions to chase
    Minutes, seconds
    Failure at the end of the race
    Pick me up, piece by piece
    Paradox insight
    We had the time of our lives
  • Lost

    I wouldn’t go that way if I were you.

    The maze is too good to be true.

    Magical creatures from here and there.

    Enter if you really dare.

    You’ll lose track of time.

    You’ll soon begin to climb.
