Making my way through this maze I like to call life,
I have realized many things,
Not the least of which is,
There is always a way out.

There are many paths I can take,
There are many in which I will and have tried,
But some lead to a dead end,
But there is always that euneaque satisfaction,
Felt when self accomplishment has been met.

There are many opertunities,
That will always come my way,
There is always a choice,
Between heading straight, left or right.

However,
Once I began this life long tread,
Now there is no turning back,
I cannot come out of this complicated maze,
Where I first was given entry.

All I can do,
Is continue on,
Or else be trapped, consumed,
Lost in what I was given,
A chance to experience, search,
To find where I belong.

unique. Oppurtunities.

Looking for a reason for this maze, For this haze, For this place out of space out of time so we race through this vine people smile feeding swine reading lines needing life without life living dead under steady blood red raining deaf through the years into old passing tears in the age of breaking bones and lungs hesitating to breathe and thoughts forever bouncing up and down round and round can't stop feeling sound till ear drums fade away want to stay but we die ain't it great? how we cry under skies dark tonight sunlight bright in the morning scorching golden hearts adoring one another pouring love shining doves flying hug the deepest ocean depths are dark like voids of passionate pleading death I wish would die so I wouldn't have to rhyme so i feel that time slows but it won't so I write even now I can cry cause I know what you wrote was so real people kill people steal we pay bills unfulfilled in life these skills kill strife I hope for a moment my type for my wife won't lie time flys life so short and nigh is my destiny i'm broken imperfect open soul I crawl on love I fold into me flaws and beauty.

Kristabell, it may sound cliche', but it is truth, life is in the journey, not the destination.  It is a brave soul who embraces the journey- as it seems you have.

  Susan

Happiness isn't something that happens to you, it's created from within you.  Joy is a state of mind.

I love the wisdom in your writing and how you said this.  I enjoy your writing, Kristabell!
