the Maze

By mysticventures

Some wonder aimlessly thru the maze of life
Taking turns even though they know not where they lead
Stumbling
Blindly
Into walls
Only having to backtrack from whence they came
And
Start all over again
Thus
Getting nowhere

Others go forth with vision and purpose
Setting their course ahead
They know where they are going
And
Where each turns leads
They hurdle the walls with ease
Eagerly looking forward to the next obstacle
Thus
They are never satisfied

I however take a different route thru the maze of life
Seeking in its depths
The hidden doors and secret passageways
Exploring places both of darkness
And of the light
Places few have gone before
And why not
For I know the secret of the maze
And
The only way out
