Notes About The Poem

Intricate Labyrinth

Sinuous,
               the snake-like paths
                  of life's journey;
        a turning and twisting puzzle
    of a maze that tend to wall us in.

                     Sometimes,
                we find ourselves 
                trapped or lost
            as we navigate our way 
       through the intricate labyrinth...

                but we eventually
          make it to our destination, 
                    and smell...
           all the beautiful red roses
                   in the garden...

                        of life!
