Poem: Labyrinth

Labyrinth

I have taken the narrow path
To the heart of the matter
Hoping for
a revelation,
a radical shift,
a fresh perspective,
a different dream --
Only to find my self there once again
Unchanged.

The twists and turns
In this pathway
Have offered up no lessons.

So I have given up on the center.
Today I want to lie down
Along the outer edge,
Curve my body
Along smooth wet stones,
Put my ear against
A frozen jagged rock
And listen for its sound.
