  •   “A Labyrinth Of Mind” – Poetry

    A light sits in the labyrinth Of delicate shape and simple mind, Flickering in its endless dance, The gem of eternity fair.   Its walls are high, The sky a steel gray – Twist. Turn. Forward. Back. Corners. Curves. A place to rest. A place to hide. A place of joy precedes a place of…

  • Reclined upon a tapestried throne Silence. Contemplation. A tangled web goes ‘round and ‘round Visions of restlessness plague me! As the Weaver Of Destiny Tallies the ties I have lost. A weaver skilled is she Wisdom burning in her myriad eyes The strands so different, yet the same. Why mourn the sacrifice? Where is the…
