Pink Rabbits and Too Many Candles

 

I thought to make a cake

for my birthday, full of sugar,

with candy all around the edge.

I opened seven packages of candles - seven!

And sat there, amazed, at the journey

I have made, chasing that pink rabbit

in a circle, then circling back,

until someone took pity

and handed me a compass

that helped me find my way.

Raven pointed her feathery wing

up over the mountains, and so I came

into the land of dreams, walking

like a somnambulist through beauty

that seemed too magical to be real.
And yet it was, and is.

I send you a cupcake of wishes,

wherever you are, and a complimentary

mug of tea. And when next you spot

a pink rabbit, I hope

you'll think of me.

for Shay's Word List - which sent me into a bit of a sugar high! I didnt really open all those candles. Just a token few, one for each decade. LOL. What a jouney this life is. I kinda love it.
