The Best Ideas

I sit in Wonderland
Where the "livin' is easy"
And the cool kids always have
The best ideas.

I'm cool too, but no one knows.
Light shoots from my fingers
Sunshine paints my toes.  I
Have ideas.

Feeling lost one day,
I sought shelter in 
A forest of words and waited for
The weather to change.
I waited and 
Waited.

Push harder, I admonished
Look deeper, I demanded.
But still I was lost
Still I hid under the words.
Darkness rained.

Gradually the storm passed,
A whisper gathered in my heart.
Rest easy, you are not lost, she said.
Your ideas will guide you.
Rest easy and listen.

So I found my way that day.
With stars in my hair
And the moon to light my way,
I learned to listen
And I learned to hear
The best ideas.
