Maze

Once I had a nightmare haze, Where I walked into a garden, But it turned out to be a maze, And it soon began to darken, I walked through the sinuous paths, Twisting and turning this way and that, Must have been built by psychopaths, Even the uneven ground wasn't flat, I bumped into a big hedge wall, Right when I thought I'd found my way, I realised that I was trapped withal, It was an unending puzzle to play, Just then I saw a beam of light, And I began to follow with hope, I believed I could come out right, With this tangled mess, I could cope, Somehow I came out that night, Saved at a labyrinthine cost, For I woke myself out of that plight, Still feeling entranced and lost. 06.25.2020
