Chimera World

Mysterious, mosaic maze speak to me as I weave through your garden pathways 'round still, midnight trees. Crescent moon smiles faintly from a cold, distant heaven as darkness clouds my vision my heart feels heavy laden. A muted mood surrounds me nary a sound, with solemn steps to wonder at my arrival as like a magnet, I forward press. Now here in labyrinth's center a lioness gargoyle stares from a silent, stony fountain unfocused and unaware. Written on 2/5/2017
