Life’s Labyrinth

Posted on July 3, 2015 by Charles Yallowitz

(Small note: I’ll be a rarity for a few days.  Long trip there and back and not 100% certain I’ll have Internet access very often.)

Labyrinth from Labyrinth

Labyrinth from Labyrinth

Life is a Labyrinth
Winding, forked, and foggy
Never given a map
Advice from every corner
Surprising we can find our way

A few missteps
Can be recovered
Wiped away and forgotten
While others close the path
Preventing your backtrack

You can only push forward
Accepting every turn
Learning as you go
Claiming victory and loss
And everything between

Mazes merging together
For better or worse
At least you’re not alone
While continuing
To the inevitable end

About Charles Yallowitz

Charles E. Yallowitz was born, raised, and educated in New York. Then he spent a few years in Florida, realized his fear of alligators, and moved back to the Empire State. When he isn't working hard on his epic fantasy stories, Charles can be found cooking or going on whatever adventure his son has planned for the day. 'Legends of Windemere' is his first series, but it certainly won't be his last.

    Sounds just right. I’d be lost without that labyrinth. 🙂
