This Maze Called Life

As we stroll through this maze called life 
We'll pass by the hails of sorrow and strife 
The long and winding road that we pass by 
Will make our souls saddened and our hearts cry 

Tawny trails and rusty roads, we'll venture 
On this journey that we call adventure 
We'll walk by the paths, odd and uncertain 
With faith in our hearts as our own captain 

On yellow wood riddled with thorns and snares 
Menace will challenge the depth of our stares 
Across rogue rivers and misty mountains 
We'll dare the ensnares of looming fountains 

We'll ride against devil on way to salvation 
With gusts of wind ahead of our destination 
We'll challenge the blow of winter and fall 
Through this maze called life, as we stroll

Thank you very much... I just hope that our poems will not be deleted... If it violates a rule they just disqualify it...

Life is a maze full of labrynthine paths and rugged twists. But we tread them with hope. Our faith and hope provide us with the stamina to jump over the hurdles of life. Great poem, Roger!

Well done, Roger. Hey did you hear the new rule about putting dates and extra info under our poems? See the blogs about it. It's so weird.

Thank you very much for reminding me... We put our minds and body in every poem we make and they'll just be deleted for failing to follow rules? I now have a problem of how can I pull out all my poems... I think I'm quitting PS... There's no point in joining contest then if you can't even remember when you made your entry and for what contest, more if it will just be deleted because you failed to follow rules, even by honest mistake... It's not that easy to make a poem and your mind at that point and time when you made it can't just be duplicated by rewriting your poem...

Thank you very much... Does that mean that my entry poem will be deleted if I put date and contest title? What's wrong with the old rule that we used?
