Alice and the Collapse of Wonder

Years had passed since Wonderland's call,  
Since teacups danced and towers fell.  
Alice, now grown but still dreaming,  
Found a scope upon the window sill.  

A spiral shimmered in the sky,  
Alive with stars and whispering lies.  
She reached out, and the cosmos pulled her through  
A wormhole drenched in silver-blue.  

No thud, no fall—just drifting light,  
With chessboard moons and comets bright.  
Clocks with wings flew past her eyes,  
As logic sang its last goodbyes.  

She landed in a mirrored dome,  
Where silence wore a crystal tone.  
A talking orb with a polished gleam  
Called her the Stitcher of the Dream.  

"Time leaks, dear girl, from what you knew.  
The Maw consumes forgotten truths.  
The Star-Queen's song begins to fade—  
Her shattered voice must be remade."  

Through echoing realms and burning skies,  
Alice met herself in a strange disguise—  
A queen, a thief, a ghost, a spark—  
All versions lost within the dark.  

She found the Song inside a star,  
Volucris, broken from afar.  
"I feared the rules," it softly cried.  
"So chaos bloomed when I had lied."  

Alice rewrote the tune with flame,  
Letting paradox replace the tame.  
The Maw collapsed beneath her voice—  
A universe reborn by choice.
