Maze

In the labyrinth of the city You may lose your way Among tall buildings, grimy and gritty Where pollution turns the skies gray In the concrete jungle a puzzle remains Within the sinuous maze of people and trains But her paths lead her to a buttercup's glow She smiles to see her daisies grow Along the wall her petals blush Lost within beauty's hush If you are trapped in the city's gloom She invites you to come to beauty's bloom For such loveliness she is yearning Her morning glory is twisting and turning A delicate flower in a place that offers no pity But she has a garden in the city 6-24-2020 Maze - 10 Word Challenge Poetry Contest Sponsor: A Dear Heart
