1st place in the contest

The labyrinth of love butterflies in stomach First touch hand in hand spiral bound pages ready for scribbling handwritten page by page throughout Imagine being somewhere you don't recognise pretty lost and clueless how to arrive out ? The world is complex and enchanting Archers stand at the entrance and exit We walk this sacred path, together Navigates through each curve Every now and then we need to be reminded that stars need darkness to shine There is a lesson to be learned in every situation Desperately, we yearn to understand the answers on the complicated mystery - what is the conclusion ? Where life and dream meet and separate of harmonious words into eternity The soul gets bird wings and flies freely

Soulful, really love this, faving. "The soul gets bird wings and flies freely" beautiful line. They say, in the maze we get lost but in the journey of our labyrinth we find ourselves. Blessings! xAnaya

Some see darkness as obstruction only, while others see darkness as kindling for illumination. I am of the latter. When stepping from the ledge of blossom we are given wings, and the unfettered soul soars for eternity. Blessings my friend. Divine poetry. "Where life and dream meet and separate of harmonious words into eternity The soul gets bird wings and flies freely" -- Outstanding!

Love is not easy to attain. Like a maze, we often lose our ways. But with God's help, there is always a way. Blessings.

Wow, this poem really made me ponder upon all those questionings that you've so eloquently described in your words, dear Anne-Lise. We often wander within cycles of why's, trying to find out the core of those mysteries and complexities, in the wish of getting free from all those burdens and let our energies flow towards stability. But, we must not forget that, there is always a lesson within every situation.. I absolutely I love that line 'stars need darkness to shine' wow.. And that ending too!

Anne-Lise, I had a lot of fun reading this well-crafted poem. It captured my attention how beautifully you linked love to the convoluted maze of a labyrinth, a deep metaphor that rings true since love often stretches beyond the domain of ideal blue skies and sweet bird songs. Best Wishes for the cont. Have a great weekend I hope that you're well.
