In A Nutshell #76

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

Softly

Fear

Look down, look
Down
And you will
See

Don’t walk by
So fast
Or you’ll miss
Me
