Fairy Wings Of Faith

When Alice on the old yellow brick road
spots the green honeycreeper in the birch,
she considers her social friendliness
with knights and holy friars in misty woods
to be adscititious when she arrives
at museum of artful anecdotes.

While staring at strange painting on the wall
that depicts young woman by mountain lake
roasting the serpent on altar of gems,
she removes adscititious influences
not inherent to significant form
to experience pure aesthetic emotion.

Stripped of extraneous components of truth,
Alice considers why the dodo bird
represents regal imperial ambition
as key aspect of fate which constitutes
essential nature of the divine mind
eager to concoct new insight in faith.

Hitchhiking to the Alleghany woods
with innocent ambition to attend
annual rainbow gathering of the tribes,
Alice ignores the Tin Man in the van
who offers her free ride to paradise,
but calls her whore and speeds on down the road.

Emerging from great forest of sad ghosts,
Boedvar Bjarki, wearing long bear-skin cape,
offers young hippie girl in flower dress
berries he collected by sparkling stream,
then plays guitar and sings Swedish folk songs
while rainbow children dance around the fire.

Entranced by swirling scent of jasmine blooms,
Alice dances with slow sensuous concern,
floating in bliss on fairy wings of faith
from strange intoxicating thoughts of love
that swell her heart till swan wings of desire
sprout from unseen wounds of her abused heart.

When the Tin Man, in jeans and scruffy beard,
tries to dance with too intimately with Alice,
Dorothy urges the Cowardly Lion
to protect her friend from the predator,
but the Jester King smashes the dream clock,
causing all illusions to dissipate.

When Boedvar asks Alice to marry him,
she conjures Tiresias with Rod of Aaron
who officiates their wedding ceremony
under the full moon by the mountain lake,
with Dorothy, Lucy Pevensie, Wendy,
Caroline, and Chihiro as bridesmaids.
