Smitten

Cheshire cat atop her throne
Leaving not to all alone
Mice long gone in fear of fight
Be still the home at rest tonight

In maker's bed aloft of pine
Beauty waits in satin fine
Soft rays dance upon her hide
Along side hope the loving bride

Rest not weary eyes once shed
In grace of dainty heros bred
Succumb to whispers sent away
Rise up strong another day

Brush off the blue strung so tight
Brave the wonders in peeked light

Is the second verse referencing the heavens? Sorry, I seem to be visually impaired at the moment...great rhyme though.
