Knotty

A knotty path, woven in twine 
With twists and turns like frizzy vine 
With ups and downs and rugged plains 
With teary tales and bloody stains 

Above and below knots of square 
Are damages one can't repair 
For they're engraved in hearts of stone 
And their hellhole reaches the bone 

But time is kind for those who wait 
For those who love and shun the hate 
For those who tie down their burden
On the waiting halls of heaven 

For time will come when chains will break 
Knots will loosen for goodness sake 
The knotty path will soon unfold 
The sky will clear as it was told

Keep, knock, knotty poetry contest
