Metaphoric Maze
Metaphoric Maze
Still damp from the wash of a waking dream I realize the pain from the past and how much
its lied
Although not by force I was led to believe in the dimmest of truths thus kept awash in grief
All of the many things now remade as they truly were splendid things simple hidden treasure
Grasping at the meaning from the other side of the murky metaphor is finally a thing not so
futile
It has always been worth the while even as the seconds have become long yet timeless years
My epic life a work of art the masters of fate around me still hard at work in bliss and
contempt
As I look down on the tableau from where I’ve become the high road, I can see it very
clearly now
It has never been the easy path filled with twist, turns, danger, and despair but so worth it all
Erected by cause and effect as a monument for later travelers to ponder as they reach for
the summit
Yes as feeble as it may seem the wizened ones were so right, the journey is its own reward
