The Labyrinth

I wake up, kiss my daughter

Another day, splash cold water on my face

Run till my heart bursts, like I am on a race

What is it, that I chase?

Hundredth time! Back to labyrinth of grief.

I get into shower

Another day, hot water gives some solace

Thoughts turn into tears and into wails

More I try to stand, I flail

Hundredth time! Back to labyrinth of suffering.

I get into car

Another day, soft music gives some peace

Songs turn into memories and into sobs

More I try to stop, I fail

Hundredth time! Back to labyrinth of pain.

I set to work

Another day, black coffee gives some juice

I think, walk, talk, laugh and bustle 

Surrounded by people, I am alone

Hundredth time! Back to labyrinth of loneliness.

I go back and forth

I go up and down 

Is there a way out of this labyrinth??

Does that mean I am lost? 

Divine architect must have an idea!

Will he give me a map or a compass or a key?

Hedge is taller, maze is never ending.

so be it,

Labyrinth is an entire universe!
