The white rabbit runs
Full tilt
A blur in the undergrowth
flashing and darting
Among the silver beams of light,
Then a kingfisher,
Soaring over the glinting ocean,
A cardinal flitting
Through the winter trees
Stop, time
Be not in haste
The rabbit hole looms
Dive into its worm-hole magic
Burst into a million particles of flame
Arise, then, from the spring ground,
White rose

Hi qim. I love this poem: Alice in Wonderland meets the War of the Roses... Just kidding, it's really evocative of the creative process. Incidentally, although I've seen kingfishers flitting round rock pools on the coast, Ive never seen one soar over the ocean :D A reference to the Ancient Greek belief that the Halcyon Bird lived out at sea perhaps.

Live and be well - H

Thank you muchly, Hawkman. Flit/soar, soar/flit-you know when the kingfisher flies from rock to rock, that is what I was referring too, of course. Kidding. I've never seen a kingfisher in my life.

Happy Birthday, again, Prince, I hope you're still celebrating!
