LOST

Lost In a tangle of thoughts Briar thick thorny thoughts Daring me to venture further A sweet scent of roses Bidding me rest, relax Let the thoughts come to you For they seek The playground of your mind Long for the challenge Of confusion’s conundrum Sneer at the strict interpretation Of simplicity’s duplicity Wait for the flowers of thought To bloom Knowing that their beauty Will soon be Lost

A rose by any other name is --- a pretty thorn.

Glad you enjoyed it Paul. I always got nervous when I was told...."we'll just leave you alone with your thoughts"
