Freedom

Through discipline 
Comes freedom 
We have our routines
Our rituals 
They keep us safe
A window into the world 
The trees are falling down 
Wonderland is crashing 
No more Hatter
No more cream teas 
She swings her legs 
In glee 
Just you and me 
She giggles 
Just you and me 
I conclude
The strange men cannot 
Touch us 
We will always be together 
Dreaming
Being 
Through that we are free.

  1. I can see Wonderland tipping, those trees falling over. But you and Alice safe and together on solid ground.

  4. Daydreams are so wonderfully freeing, especially when reality feels a bit too much.

  6. Love this! "Those strange men cannot touch us." The child-like innocence.
