I'm No Alice But This Is Certainly A Wonderland

hmmmm... now I have too much time to think

 

 

On days free of pain

I begin to ponder

How much I have grown (that day),

After all on days the sky is blue

The earth begins to dry.

So why curse the rain

When too many sunny days

Dehydrates fertile land?

These mysteries of life

Leave me dumbfounded

Yet keep my mind

Sharp as a tack.

 

If life is really a circus

Then my mind must be

The Ferris wheel;

My soul the house of mirrors;

And my heart…

     Definitely the dunk tank.

 

I do believe that laughter

Is the best medicine

Even though I know

That would mean I should live forever

Though the seasons keep telling me

That could never be.

 

Everyday seems to be an endless fall

Down the rabbit hole;

For the most part I do enjoy the ride,

Just occasionally get motion sickness.

Oh lovely. The workings of a curious mind. We ponder and wonder and will never really know right? Great poem.

[Tina Kline]

This is great, I love it. Very positive and does give us cause to wonder and question things just a bit then just let life takes is where ever we're meant to go.

You've given us magic in metaphors, and thoughts to ponder on through the day. There is so much life dancing around us, sometimes fueling us, sometimes distracting, sometimes painfully profound. Ride on, Cowboy; raise your arms in the air and scream, and may you laugh and sing every day!

Then my mind must be
The Ferris wheel;
My soul the house of mirrors...

I can relate to this! Great images in this thoughtful piece, Dale.

[Ed Hart]

if there's one thing hard to figure out, it's this crazy life we lead...and sometimes i don't even know what 'leading' means, and, like you, i occasionally get motion sickness...thanks for the write, my friend

It's a wild ride. "If life is really a circus/Then my mind must be/The Ferris wheel;
My soul the house of mirrors;and my heart…
Definitely the dunk tank."

Cool direction to go brotha!
