Labyrinth

I discovered
an unexpected gift
on the bluff
above the sea:
smooth stones
line a labyrinth,
someone’s loving labor.

I let the path take me
on a peaceful pilgrimage,
wend and weave my way;
my mind wanders.

I give myself
to the labyrinth,
trusting that,
eventually,
the stones will lead me
to the center
if I just
let it happen.

Viv Wigley Date: 7/31/2017 7:02:00 AM A bit like life, we must all move forward and give ourselves, to reach the goal. A fine piece, Agnes, thought provoking. Viv x Login to Reply Agnes Krampe Date: 7/31/2017 1:06:00 PM Thank you, Viv.

Probir Gupta Date: 7/31/2017 1:44:00 AM Lovely labyrinth ... Toward a centre and away from it as well ... May be we like the conflict ... Login to Reply Agnes Krampe Date: 7/31/2017 1:02:00 PM Thank you, Probir.

Darren White Date: 7/31/2017 12:14:00 AM Agnes, totally unrelated to this poem, but on another poetry forum I am a member of, someone quoted a poem of yours (with your name and all, don't worry) and I felt so proud, not only because I know you, but also because it was a wonderful poem. Just like this one. (And no, I am not leaving, I only need a break) Login to Reply Agnes Krampe Date: 7/31/2017 1:02:00 PM Wow, thanks for letting me know - that makes me happy :) Hope to see you back after your break.

John Michaels Date: 7/29/2017 4:26:00 PM Interesting stuff, Agnes. Whilst clearly influenced by your discovery, there's much to be said here that could apply to life... we all navigate those labyrinthine paths, never knowing quite where we'll end up. Well done! Regards, John. Login to Reply Agnes Krampe Date: 7/31/2017 1:01:00 PM Thank you, John.

John Fleming Date: 7/28/2017 8:14:00 AM A most compelling read! I think this is one of your very best poems, Agnes...and one of the best poems I have read in quite a while - it really is that good! To me it could just as easily be an allegory as a real event...or, indeed, a mixture of both; it certainly seems to contain a hidden meaning. A really excellent poem! My very best regards as always, Agnes. :) john Login to Reply Agnes Krampe Date: 7/28/2017 9:10:00 AM Thank you for your kind words, John.

M. L. Kiser Date: 7/27/2017 3:42:00 AM I do love a labyrinth. My sister once mowed one in her yard; no one noticed. It was interesting though. Well penned, Agnes. Login to Reply Agnes Krampe Date: 7/28/2017 9:10:00 AM What a cool idea! Thanks for stopping by.

Heidi Sands Date: 7/26/2017 7:41:00 PM This is just awesome Agnes! I love it. A favorite :) Login to Reply Agnes Krampe Date: 7/28/2017 10:01:00 AM Thank you, Heidi.

Jan Allison Date: 7/26/2017 7:41:00 PM wow Agnes no wonder you were inspired to write a poem about this spectacular find you discovered ... I wonder who created such an enigma, its a pity they can't see your fabulous tribute:-) hugs jan xx Login to Reply Agnes Krampe Date: 7/28/2017 10:01:00 AM Thanks, Jan. The labyrinth I found was actually commissioned and not built by some random person, but poetic liberty, right?
