Sarah Through the Looking Glass - Part II
She fell into
tempted sleep where
her dreams took turns
spinning images
swirling and twirling
“I will not get dizzy,”
she insisted
And the room write-ted
Itself
A book thunked Sarah
on the head and
she sat in Alice’s teacup
bobbing on a slice of lemon
Voices wafted
and she peered over the edge
to listen in
But the book in her lap
insisted, Read me!
Sarah looked at
the cover
whose title did a lovely
pas de deux, bowed and touted
The Secret of Clues
Sarah opened the volume
finding its pages
empty of words
but so deep in wisdom
that a Hand
reached in
and pulled
Sarah from
herSelf
so she could see
Outside
Babbles bounced away
like so many
butterflies
And the Silence welcomed
her back
“It’s been a long time,”
Sarah thought as she
dug in her garden
So many flowers
un-noticed
“Hello, my lovelies,”
she waved.
“So good to
see you again”
And just as
the Sun
reached down in
its morning embrace…

How do I find part one. Should I look through the looking glass.Smiling. These words really touch me sarah,this is one of my favourites.Well a favourite in the way of the child like feeling I get when reading.

I love that bit to. I love it all. What I did notice on one of your recent poems and now this one is a (S) capital S in the middle of a ramdon word. I thought it looked good and gave it a little bit of mystery.
Love this so much,I will look for part one.
Love Di
hi di,
no need to look for part one, here’s the link:
yes, i do have my own ‘code’ so to speak, i guess all poets do. it means something to me, is all i can tell you. hope you enjoy part one.
love
sarah
Urmm !! Maybe not with that capital S. The S is in the word HerSelf. I quess I noticed it as I noticed a similar one in one of your last poems.
Just maddness thats all sarah but is HerSelf spelt like that or Herself like that.
Love as always
Di
hi di,
see previous response to your comment on this.
love
sarah
Oh No !!
A code - sorry. Oh !Maybe I shouldn’t have mentioned the capital. My friend once said to me she’d never felt as scrutinized by anyone like she felt by me. I was guttered. Actualy thinking about it what an awful thing to say to me - to a friend.I can’t help it if I notice things.
I always seem to notice things. Sorry hope I wasn’t intrusive.
Love
Di.
Love part one to. Big hugs.
no worries, my friend, not intrusive at all. perhaps someday i will give you the decoder ring.
i’m rather enjoying that you’re enjoying the adventure.
love & big hugs
sarah
Oh I’m so glad I never offended you. I felt all funny after I left that comment and I thought to myself Oh Diane.
I’m enjoying the journey. Its magical.
Decorde ring, I’ve never heard about stuff like that darling so maybe I’m better of not knowing. I love little adventours and little finds along the way.
smiling, love Di.
well of course you didn’t, dear, you never could. well maybe the decoder ring is better left alone then, eh?
love
sarah
