ALICE

AS THE YEARS COME AND GO BY,
AND CIRCUMSTANCE CAPTURE’S YOUR LIFE
AND TURNS IT UPSIDE DOWN,
FRIENDS SEEM A LITTLE DEARER,
TIME IS JUST A LITTLE FLEETER
AND FRIENDSHIP IS JUST A LITTLE SWEETER.

SO WE SMILE A LITTLE LONGER
WITH RECOLLECTIONS TENDER, OF
VERANDA VINE’S CURLING, TWINING
REACHING DOWN DIFFUSING LIGHT,
TANTALIZING CLOSE TO THE GROUND
BUT NOT QUITE.

OF A GARDEN, SPLENDID,
INVITING, CHAOTIC, CHARMING,
A MAZE OF LIFE, DEFTLY TENDERED.
IMAGINATION, INNOVATI0N,
NOOKS OF MYSTIC INVITATION.

DAWN BREAKS, ROOSTER CROW’S,
FRESH-FEATHERED CHOOK’S IN THE GARDEN.
WILD BIRD’S, FLAMBOYANT,
PERCHING IN ROW’S.
FELINE FRIEND ‘PINE’A LITTLE FRAIL
LOVED AND LOVING, PREENING IT’S TAIL.

SO WE SMILE A LITTLE LONGER
AT MEMORIES NEW, OF,
THE HOUSE OF ALICE,
RESPLENDENT IN IT’S COAT OF MANY COLOUR’S, BLUE

A LABYRINTH OF RECCESSES, OF INTRIGUE AND WARMTH,
PROTECTING THE MYRIAD OF OBJECT’S DE ART,
COLLECTION’S, PROJECT’S,
LITURATURE, MEMROBILIA,
REPRESENTING A TINY VIEW
OF THE PLACES TO VISIT
IN  ALICE’S  KIND  HEART.
.

POETRY IN MOTION, HONESTY.
NO NEED FOR FEELING’S SPARED,
HEART’S TO HEART’S
CANDID COMMENT’S SHARED
WITH THE SEED’S OF FRIENDSHIP SEWN,
I AM TELLING YOU THIS
MY FRIEND,
MY EYE’S ARE A LITTLE BRIGHTER’
AND MY HEART A LITTLE LIGHTER,
FOR KNOWING YOU.
THIS COMMITMENT I SEND.

There are some lovely phrases in here. Good job.
Kethry

Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind.  Unknown
