Agnes Krampe Poet Free verse

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.

Probir Gupta July 31, 2017 at 1:44 AM Lovely labyrinth ... Toward a centre and away from it as well ... May be we like the conflict ... Agnes Krampe July 31, 2017 at 1:02 PM Thank you, Probir.

Darren White July 31, 2017 at 12:14 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) Agnes Krampe July 31, 2017 at 1:02 PM Wow, thanks for letting me know - that makes me happy :) Hope to see you back after your break.

John Michaels July 29, 2017 at 4:26 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. Agnes Krampe July 31, 2017 at 1:01 PM Thank you, John.

John Fleming July 28, 2017 at 8:14 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 Agnes Krampe July 28, 2017 at 9:10 AM Thank you for your kind words, John.

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

Jan Allison July 26, 2017 at 7:41 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 Agnes Krampe July 28, 2017 at 10:01 AM Thanks, Jan. The labyrinth I found was actually commissioned and not built by some random person, but poetic liberty, right?

Heidi Sands July 26, 2017 at 7:41 PM This is just awesome Agnes! I love it. A favorite :) Agnes Krampe July 28, 2017 at 10:01 AM Thank you, Heidi.
