Maze.jpg

Life is a maze.

Turns and dead ends.

Will we ever reach the finish line?

 

Then darkness hurts us.

Leaving us weak and alone.

Never to understand.

The truth.

 

Pain is inflicted,

And the world around us,

The world we knew,

Crumbles.

 pain-2.jpg

We walk around in a haze.

Unknowing and unsure.

Broken yet strong.

 

A light still glows.

A power growing.

We’re still alive.

 

Our strength grows.

A voice is heard.

So beautiful.

 

Tears are shed.

For the time lost.

The truth is unveiled.

 

We walk in His light.

Our world in no longer dark.

He is forever my Savior.

There is no such thing as absolute darkness
Even the blackest nights have a light to shed.
So beautiful

Keep writing about the good news, little sis.
Take care :)

You're completly right big bro. Thanks punishment. I appreciate it, as always. =)Mandy

Each stanza/line resonates with deeply felt emotion and evokes similar emotions in the reader.

I love the brilliant insights here. Well-chosen pics add to the vividness of visual, aural and tactile descriptions.

Very well-written.

Hi Mandy ^_^
I like this, I have often thought of life as a maze myself. I like the way you brought this from pain, darkness, crumbling into tears, strength and light.

Life is a mystery, a maze, a mixture of confusion, anger, pain, and love. I've felt all of them. But the strength and light are the most beautiful things in the world. Thanks katie. =)Mandy

Life is a maze I don't want to get out. Nice, but I don't really trust in him, cuz if he does exist, he is crap. No offense I hope.

Non taken. Not everyone believes in Him. I do with all my heart. I've accepted that some dont believe in Him. I'd rather not leave this maze either. There are things that I still need to do. =)Mandy

Life is a maze indeed. We don't seem to know our way around it. There are lot of bumps and turns and thorns and holes. Nothing is what it seems. We are always heading toward uncertainty. But what makes the journey wonderful is---We're not alone. Faith is wisdom. ^^

A soul-uplifting piece. I love it!
GodBless! :-)

You nailed it exactly. We meet dead ends but we can turn around and go another way. I'm glad you enjoyed this. I enjoyed writing it. =)Mandy

Another great and beautiful poem from ya chicka! I love how you put so much emotion and feeling into this one. It really lets it feel "real" and organic. I truly believe that you have a talent, and I hope you share more great works like this with us as you sharpen it. :) Take care, Regan
