Why are we here
Asks Alice
We are not on holiday
We have never
Stayed in an hotel
We imagine a big red bed
Windows and clouds
Birds gently
Humming in the trees
We are alive
Our pulse
Rests
Like a calm ocean
All is peaceful
A song
A smile
Clean sheets
And heavy curtains
We will sleep
Dream and play
This is our hotel
Magical and real.
It would be such fun for you and your sister to treat yourselves to a hotel room one day. I have stayed in very few. But it always feels very grand. Though, in the end, my own small rooms are best. I love your closing lines. No place like home. Smiles.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful description of a Hotel I would like to stay in.
ReplyDeleteI love how you describe the 'Magical and real' hotel. It is forever.
ReplyDeleteIt’s strange to imagine Alice in a hotel, and I love the dream hotel you chose to place her in, Jae: the ‘big red bed / Windows and clouds / Birds gently /
ReplyDeleteHumming in the trees’. A safe place, where ‘Our pulse / Rests / Like a calm ocean ‘; the perfect place to dream and play.

Sounds wonderful, Jae!
"Our pulse

Such a beautiful place! And all the hotels I've stayed in have tried to guarantee their guests such peace. I like that yours has birds in it.
What a treat!
ReplyDeleteWhen all is peaceful, our mind will hum a tune. Lovely lines.
