Anaclictic metamorphosis

sorenbarrett

From an irrefrangible, harridan

We take refuge in an ancient wardrobe

In a Neverland with emerald walls,

A white rabbit offers innocent hope

Charmed by the halcyon

Ridding a Trojan rocking horse

We are caught in the quicksand of time

That commits us to the labors of Hercules

Gathering coins for the boatman

    a butterfly, of a poem
    deep threads, you pull at my friend
    deep!
    thanks for sharing
    (love all your myth referencing, imagery
    crossing time's borders
    from one line to the next
    I feel
    James Joyce, would relate)

    Wow I love this! I feel that boatman line refers to the trip made to the Underworld in Greek mythology in which you need to pay Charon, the ferryman of the underworld, a certain coin or else you're doomed to swim in the dark waters of the Styx for 100 years. From the title I feel that this could be an evolution from not relying on others to depending on yourself. Great job!
