In the land of Suzanne’s Lair 

 

I awoke to find I was sleeping 

It was dark …but the room was light

I knew where I was and yet … I was somewhere else.

The Wordcatcher sleeps tonight. 

 

The Midnight Hour … May I escape? 

Hesitate!  

Nae! My plight will always wait.  

 

Lap-Top’s

Deep humming screen’s own lullaby

Tired eyes drop the curtain’s veil to open

In … Into ……

 

Through a Lap-Top drop into Cyber-Space

Through a black hole down deep sunk cortex 

Spin the wheel … vibrate vortex perplex

Sleepy eyes last blink hide the written text

The eyelids flicker …

Carousel spin …

 Big-Dipperrrrrrrrrrr

Down  

Down  

Down 

Down 

Down 

Alice in some wonderland? 

 

Music? 

 

Tinkling sounds, harps, harpsichord or … or

A mountain stream?

Or … Or ….



Giants, Fairies, Centaurs, Goblins …

Wizards, Mermaids, Unicorns …

Sea girt the dragon ride the waves …

As Pegasus flies by so high

Midnight blue streak the starlit sky.  

 

All come as one to

Meet this night … DECLARE!  

Be a wonderland beyond compare

In the land of Suzanne’s Lair.

 

I watch in awe as pictures come to life …

I read myths legends bold, poems told through the haunting veils of strife

Be love and war and hope and fear 

Be romance dance… Come! Spin the wheel o’ fate

Turn a page of time be an endless line 

Step through into cyber-space.

 

I see a warrior fighting demons … fangs to drool …

I see the jesters, performing fools …

I see a princess with magic wand … 

Quickly make a wish … 

Ah! A magic song … 

 

Music!

 

 Tinkling wind chimes sway sleeps caught incensed dreams

The rainbow or the butterfly

Chase a sound! 

Clutch the hand! 

For a fist will never snatch the rainbow’s secrets destiny

And for just one day the butterfly flies free

Illusions fantasy.

 

Let’s all play!

 

Ride a moonbeam swoon by the starlight sway

Skip, fly by the light of the Milky Way

Spin around and danceNow shout!

 

‘Hey!!! All of you out there!!! 

Look at me in the land of Lair.’

 

 

Ha Haar Ha Haar Ha Haarrr 

Follow me! 

 

Fight the demons save the world from strife 

Take the princess home to be your wife 

Meet the Fairies, Goblins, Elves and Troll’s

Climb a castle high 

Read the secret Scrolls 

Swim the oceans waves to aaaahh…

A … An … And my eyes but do behold!

A lap-top screen from Lair’s own dream

With trailinggg Dragons butterflies

 

In …In a line all following me

Spin a fingertip … trail the cursers flip

A wonderland to share …

Be beneath the rainbow paradise 

In the land of Suzanne’s Lair.
