A MAze in grace

A Maze In Grace

I’ve failed a lot of people

And a lot of people failed me

Like autumn leaves the summer,

My leaves are falling from the tree

One of these days, I’ll leap, “No diggity!’ I will

Whether up or down, or forward, I’ll leave

Yes, I'll say goodbye to this bleak town

Where happiness is hard to perceive

A maze of hope and fear surround

Glimmering like a test pattern,

Pulling me back to the start

A glimpse of hope hangs by a thread 

Butterflies rise, but the light fades apart

This town was never home,

Not even close 

No way!

Heavy thoughts, like anchors tied

In tomorrow, void wins, and yesterday

Will there be spring once more in my heart?

A silver lining is not fading that fast

A bottleneck Christmas salvation

How long can this feeling last?

A maze of hopes and fears surrounds me

Heavy like a weight, pulling me down under

Then again - “Lo, How a Rose E’er blooming”

Butterflies rise, but the light drifts asunder

I’m here and now, self-doing, self-lacking

A system of success and failure tracking

In a universe that’s grown so tired

Hacking away at dreams expired

I know, oh I know, oh yes

I don’t know a single thing

The earth might turn square 

A prism, a pyramid, or a ring
