In the
Labyrinth
Of
Life

Switchbacks, turns
And
Endless
Strife

Fate
Each day
It rolls the
Dice

Without
Regard for
Being
Nice

Yet
Scoring love
But once or
Twice

Makes
It well worth
Hefty
Price

There’s always
Gristle
With the
Steak

Tough and
Chewy
Make no
Mistake

But worth the
Effort
To
Partake

To rejoice
In the icing
On life’s
Cake

We each have the starring role
In our own life documentary.

As our path intersects with others,
We at times assume
A major supporting role
In their life drama,

Or perhaps nothing more
Than a brief guest appearance.

But, bind our individual stories
TOGETHER

And the chronicle of mankind unfolds.

An elephant
In
The room

Can’t
Be shooed with
A broom

Or
Launched upon
The moon

Its presence
Will
Only loom

Demanding to be
Dealt
With soon
