Life Is A Maze

Life is a maze, so make a plan
Face up to what you fear.
Don’t make light, of what is dark
But be sure to make it clear.

Do not befriend the devil
Keep him close, but at arm’s length.
Look your daemons in the eye
To release your inner strength.

You’ll have a map, but no direction
If you ignore the warning signs.
Your heart’s a sundial and a compass
That points north, when courage shines.

I felt the title was a bit of a play on words. I don't know if it was a deliberate thing or just a fluke, but I like it. ~ Geezer.

There is value to commenting and critique, tell us how you feel about our work.
This must be the place, 'cause there ain't no place like this place anywhere near this place.

Ha. A fluke.

Wise words!
