"The Maze of Hope"

Come out your box
your tiny little box

Forced control
is something you don't own

red bicycles
are floating in your sky

you love hugs hello
but terrified of kiss goodbyes

ancient warriors
is something you will never be

erasing sadness
memories sets you free

unlock the door your
internal joy quietly awaits

look the pleasure of your lover
face to face

tortured dreams hold on
but your not sleep

lying on your back
the feeling great is so intense

but if you let go
the feelings gone
so you stay on the fence

the moons your home
as whales fly thru your sky

the oceans are full of birds
that speak and wonder why

conversations with feelings
called hope

soft grassy fields
and quiet streams
your bodies soft

who ever wants
to leave the romantic plane
that never turns off

climb right in
put your feet on solid ground

catch the boat of joy
while its there to be found

and sail away
sail away out of the maze

dreams are nice but
live those thoughts
before they slip away

regret is only real
if you can't get past old days

days that hurt

is pain an illusion
is joy an intrusion on the pain

oh where are the voices
that had the heart to leave the maze

What we see right now
was given

some are stuck in what is here

crying tears that no one hears
shedding fears that no one else knows

in a room full of others
yet still all alone

you don't try
you don't try anymore

you've moved on
but your still inside
the door

you do so much
its what brings you joy

your not understood
can't share your thoughts
with your fan

it turns round and round
it feels good
cools you off
yet doesn't
understand

you stand alone
yet others just like you
waiting for time
to give the clue

echos in the mountains
you yell but theirs no reply

is the dream you use
to soothe you
reality or lie

doesn't matter anymore
get what you need want
and find others
in the maze of hope

drifting along
the waters of desire
waiting
for the rope.

What is your reality?

peace

"The maze of hope" it seems you just described my life. I love this so much that I will make it one of my favorites.
Great write!

I like this. It's a bit abstract and fragmented but I see a common thread running through the middle of it. It's really a kaleidoscope of images and proverbial wisdoms. Well done.
