Maze

Can you master the long maze, the twists and turns in the haze, shapes and deceptions that daze? Life has tiny cuts and blocks, passages under keys and locks. Daring to escape this shallow box. Love too, is caught in the blight with whether it is, or isn’t it right. It either surprises or deceives outright. Swirling and twirling to find the way, spinning and curling at every sway, soon lost along the way. Choose a path, the maze divides. Watch your slips and slides. You’ll exit where the maze provides.

Linda, the cadence of your poem literally swirls, spins, curls and twirls like vertigo in a "maze" where up is down, down is up and everything goes sideways! So well done! Congratulations on your win that exits us from this labyrinth! Easter blessings of joy to you!
