The looking glass
It played a song
The one of silent waters flowing
Dripping honey suckle dew
Down locks of golden sun
The patch of thorns
Covering the sun
Scratched the friendly sky
And tore a gash through this world
Opening another hiding so close by
Stepping through into the hole
The birds no longer sang
The looking glass song
No longer played
Music box melody contained
A humming of measures drasticly not pure
Poured out from the midnight black surrondings all around
Bringing down, down, down
Spirals to the abbis
Lost in a world hidden beneath
Earth in its wild array
Making the one who wished to flee
Wish he would have stayed
No fire ringlets encircled
No flames of burning dead
Only the constant humming
And the freezing cold of lonliness
Soon the light though, peaked through a crack
From the other side
Showing a way back to the path
Beckoning back to the world left behind
A will that was only ten feet deep
In the soul
Was all it took
To find a way back to the
song of the silent
Waters of the
Looking glass
