Wonderland

Life surrounds me and sounds confront me
Little do I hear of the trumpets sounds
Or also of the buzzing bee
As across the forest I make my rounds

Silence making a pitter patter
While a raindrop hits the grass
The lullaby of nature quite dapper
As its silence puts me in a trance

Eerie I do now feel
My heart seeming in the sky
A fantasy starts my skin begins to peel
Transformed I am a butterfly

Free of my cocoon I am free to fly
This is my chance for a new life
Wings constricted I wonder why
My feet won’t leave the ground, it cuts like a knife

Still the trance overwhelms my heart
Trying to leave the ground
Wanting to get past this part
Despite lack of sound

My heart finally understands and knows
Standing there in the deafening quiet
The knowledge begins to show
Brain and heart in riot

I lay my head back down
Once again to wake for reality
To the dreary woods I do frown
Before I close my eyes to see no actuality
