Ceramic Inside

Inside my mind
Do you remember the tea-party from Alice in the wonderland?
It had such beautiful tea-cups and pots
That's where I am inside of my mind.
It's been 19 years but not a minute ahead in the tea-party
It's everlasting.
But there's a difference, I don't have the same companions to clink my cups with as Alice did
Never-mind, I do have my my dolls and bears.
And we set up on a grassy patch with petunias and daisies around us.
We sit and talk. I talk.
Outside however, I never got to that tea party.
Time flew too fast and my dolls left me too quick.
I tried to hold on but they left.
Then came the blows of windy truths which with each hit cracked my ceramic wonderland
Now all that I have left inside is one set of a teacup and coaster.
All the others have turned to dust with 19 years of winds.
No matter whatever happened in the outside world,
I knew that every night, before I closed my eyes, I'd go back to the tea-party.
Clink my cups and serve my friends who always smiled at me while I told them my stories.



My oh my, There are now cracks on the last tea-cup.
"we need to get a new set Ms. Doll, I can't serve you tea in this, Do you know where I could get one?"
" or maybe you do Mr. Bunny "
Does anyone know where I could find a new tea-set?
I can't hold the party without one.

Whatever would we do without a tea party in wonderland
