Labyrinth
My mind is a labyrinth.
I am trapped in an endless cyle of fear.
I am so afraid. I know what I must do . . .
I must leave the garden,
The only place world I have ever known.
I must leave His grace.
And enter the labyrinth.
There are twists and turns.
A thousand new faces.
Even more names.
They jumble in my mind.
I am tormented by ignorance,
By the minotaur's callous laugh.
I try to escape.
To fly on golden wings.
To reclaim His glory.
To know my friends once more.
I am denied.
Judas has lain their kiss upon my cheek.
I fall back into the labyrinth.
Desolate and distraught.
I read the words,
"Abandon all hope, ye who enter here."
I am shatters.
Beyone repair.
And yet.
Here I stand, whole.
Surrounded by friends and support.
Life is no longer a labyringth.
I smile, as we enter Babylone once more.
