As lost as Alice

Tailer Maines 1995 (South Lebanon ohio)



I feel like Alice, lost in a dream,
Where time spirals, a surreal stream.
Down the rabbit hole, I gently plunge,
In a world where truths and illusions seem.

In a dream, where time spirals and weaves,
Precision and chaos dance like leaves.
Down the rabbit hole, I fall and swoon,
And discover what my wonderland conceives.

Where precision and chaos interlace,
I search for meaning in this endless space.
Down the rabbit hole, curiosity shall guide,
Unveiling secrets of this extraordinary place.

In this endless space, I wander and roam,
Seeking answers that I dare to comb.
Down the rabbit hole, adventure unfolds,
As I leave behind what I used to call home.

Seeking answers, I dare to embark,
On a journey where light meets the dark.
Down the rabbit hole, possibilities bloom,
Transforming me, like a fleeting spark.

On a journey where light always returns,
I navigate through twists and turns.
Down the rabbit hole, time stands still,
Moments captured and cherished in my heartburns.

On this carousel of life's grand ride,
Endless cycles, with no place to hide.
Down the rabbit hole, I embrace the ride,
Embracing change and castles that collide.

Endless cycles, with no break nor stillness,
Time's passage, an eternal witness.
Down the rabbit hole, I relinquish control,
Finding peace in surrender and forgiveness.

Time's passage, an eternal river's flow,
As I let go, surrendering to what may show.
Down the rabbit hole, I grasp the truth,
That each cycle leads to a place I already know.

Surrendered to what I already know,
With each cycle's end, new seeds shall sow.
Down the rabbit hole, I find myself whole,
As I embrace the wonderland within me that does grow.

I feel like Alice, lost in my reverie,
Creating my wonderland, forever free.
Down the rabbit hole, I embark anew,
For in this cyclic journey, I finally see.
