I sat down, and with a frown
I contemplated, i debated
I considered all, i deliberated them all
With an answer i failed to come up with.

i deliberated
an entrapment,
designed specifically,
and only, for me

and somewhere
along the way
the gears stop winding
tired of rotating

overtaken
by mists of different colors
my trap evolved
into a maze i must solve

"i'd win it against time,"
tracing the walls
with my left hand,
wishing the exit i'd find

truth is pain,
the exit's an illusion
and i would love,
to instantly give up

so come on,

give me my break
be my escape...

Orchard of marvels

midst verdant-floral haven~~~

awaiting implementing rules and regulations

still being deliberated upon.

*Genesis 2:8 And the LORD God planted a garden eastward in Eden…
