Rabbit Hole Redux

By heinzs

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

Once again, Alice, with feet of clay, stands at the brink - a decision to be made. Leap blindly forward into the dark unknown, or remain comfortably safe in her familiar Hell. Progress, change, adventure beckon, but fear cloys the pulsing veins. Anxious knots deny courage like stones weighing down the soul. In indecision lost, doomed to failed potential, drowns her sorrow in drink while opiates dull her mind. Break this vicious cycle - inaction is the bane. Take charge of Destiny's whip and loose self-pity's fetters. Take the plunge! The water, though cold, will buoy you on high with the salt from all our tears.continuing a theme.
