This Maze Called Life

As we stroll through this maze called life, we stroll through many twists and turns. Some are sharp and will cut like a knife, many are happy with no concerns. As we age, we set the stage. Only when we get to the end, will we know if this maze called life was our friend.

Paula, I like the wondering about life as a maze. You’ve succinctly presented the imagery (complex & astute) for this analohy. As an old lady still stuck trying to improve out of my wheelchair, i must say that rolling over the maze’s lawn is not easy, but makes life’s passing slow enough to make time to ponder fine, thought provoking poems like yours! xox

Thank You for reading/writing. Glad you enjoyed my thought provoking write. Life is like a maze with many twists and turns. We never know where we will go next. We need to enjoy where we are and what we have. Most do not. Being thankful is very important. It could always be worse. Have a blessed day.............

As we follow life's path we make untold numbers of judgements and thus same with our actions. Only after our passing will we find out-how well- did or else did not do. Your fine poem makes that truth obvious. God bless my friend. A fav,,

As we traverse the intricate labyrinth of existence, Paula, your exceptional perception and vivid depictions masterfully articulate your musings. Some paths are jagged,
