If you lived in a cave
Way up in the hills
Would you have
Top amenities
All of the frills?
Or bookshelves filled
from the beginning of time
Learning all you can
I certainly wouldn’t mind.
Curtains of silk
to rub ‘cross your skin.
Never venturing out,
egos rescind.
Orbs of past selves
lighting the way.
Begin to realize
tricks the mind plays.
Labyrinth without
Labyrinth within.
How deep will you go
to find what’s hidden.
Unlocking new levels
Spiral Up go back Down.
Sometimes the maze
leads underground.
Hidden gems
revelations akin.
Dig too deep
lose more 'friends’.
Days fly forward
Time sets back.
Complete a lesson
Stay on track.
Cyclical cyclical
patterns at play.
Synthesize the melody
don’t float away.
Seeing a glimmer
Opening in the dark
Finding your way
right back to the start.
