Realms of Light

+*+*+*+*+*+
My Path is like a labyrinth,
A maze of winding trails,
Convoluted meanderings,
Down lane ways, pikes, and rails.

Some are smooth and easy,
Where I simply go with flow,
Velvet-lined easy streets,
As sweet as fine merlot.

At times the roads are bumpy,
And I'm blocked at every turn,
I don't make any headway,
My wheels just spin and burn.

Complicated courses,
Where signals often cross,
I roam about aimlessly,
Confused and feeling lost.

A web of trite complexity,
A blueprint pre-divined,
A tangled web of intricacy,
Of pathways all entwined.

But when the fog dissipates,
Bright sunshine lights the day,
My eyes and heart will open up,
And then I find my way.

"But when the fog dissipates,
The sunshine lights the day,
My eyes and heart open up,
And then I find my way."

On a day as clear and beautiful as this one..
should be easy to find your way Linda.
Loved the lyrical feel to this piece.
Lovely indeed and much enjoyed.
~Smiles & Hugs, Nancy~

Linda, that's the way it
seems to always happen...
even if at times it takes
the fog longer to clear.
Hugs, my friend

There was no doubt in my mind you would find your way.
