Clouds embrace, a pendant against its timeless Climax, on a warm humid summer evening. Shadows in the ardent garden, twinkling lights Through sinuous motion paths, a maze we know And taken for granted without trees near. Through we run; fireflies softly shimmer in flight. Brother and I, and one jar among us. We watch as they flitter, flutter, and flicker, Turning, twisting to stop without knowing. Ever so slowly and quietly, gently with cupped Hands, catch the moving twinkling light. Here, I open wide my hands, into the jar it flew. Peering long we stood staring in silence On unbroken, trapped living light flickering Gleam in the dark; then stillness gave way Not a minute wasted. We were lost between the evergreen shrub Puzzle walls. The lovely maze, dark and deep Seems like miles. Suddenly there came a wall At a distance the exit path out of the maze. 6/24/2020 Maze - 10 Word Challenge Poetry Contest Sponsored by: A Dear Heart
