Alice's Secret Gardens

We were crossin’ auntie’s gardens; felt like treason
When suddenly a voice roared from the trees
An image of a wild cat was staring not even blinking
Its yellow eyes engaged me as a trance

None of us felt threatened: Mystery was protecting
Its secrets were revealed and no reply
We stepped into this New World where problems are forsaken
And now our dreams were there right in our palms

Shake it! Break it! Make it! Take it! None belongs to you
No one will be there to tattoo you
So now the undreamt is possible, unfolding like the leafs
I’m wondering: will we ever leave?

Turtles parachuting upwards to the skies
Tippin’ hats to the Moon that lies behind
Squirrels squiggling poems, bragging ‘bout their cloaks
Sailing against the winds of peppermint

The lazy ones where the foxes, smoking big cigars
Sittin’ all day with their fringes all quiffed all back
The crown fell to the platypus: All bow to the mighty one!
The bastard slew his siblings with swift hands

Stranded by himself locked in his Ivory Tower
No subjects showed to say “All hail the King”
As waking from a nap we returned just in a snap
My days were not the same as the cat smiled back
