Alice’s Final Escapade
By Jackie Fedyk
She is chasing a rabbit of white
You know this story
And what’s about to take flight
The rabbit escapes through a darkened abyss
Down a shadowy burrow with obstacles and twists
He has eluded her with a wind and a whirl
She’s left behind a sad ignorant girl
With a carless misstep she’s swallowed by a hole in the earth
To question curiosity and what is it worth
She descends down the chamber of forgotten, misplaced things
Items left behind from peasants and kings
Cold colors flash like aura borealis
So begins the adventure of our dear little Alice
What will she come about this time you ask?
Put your question to the rabbit as he removes his mask
This is Alice’s final escapade she heaves short of breath
The rabbit she chases can only be Death
But fear not my children she shall curiously explore
The garden behind mortality’s secret veiled door
