Trapped in her Wonderland

Alice sits alone on the sand
within the heart of her Wonderland
A land of ice, where creatures abound
and all the nonsense is profound

Alice gazes across the sea
how far the real world seems to be
The sun sinks in a flash of light
Alice is too far gone to fight

Alice's land was her creation
to escape her imagination
She set it free and let it run
in hopes her troubles would be done

Alice was left alone by the shore
her memories of family are no more
Her mind will not let her be
it trapped her far beyond the sea

Alice is the queen of her world
dreams from her past life unfurled
She now wishes for an end to her pain
and a life that is excessively plain

Alice sits alone on the sand
trapped in the depths of her Wonderland

Author notes

This is inspired by the combination of the two pictures: the fantasy of the first and the loneliness of the second.

    Nice rhyme and I really like the soft presentation. Some shades of green are my favorites so I really like the background and the fact that it is text friendly. Thank you for enering
