A Day Out of the Box #1

The Stone Labyrinth at Still Point

Sometimes, Life

Sometimes life,
like a labyrinth,
leads you
where you have to go.

You think you make choices –
this man or that,
some child or not.

You set your alarm,
choose your shoes,
gather friends for tea,
count your changes,

until one day a corner comes,
slipping you a glimpse
of those strings of stones
along your shadow’s edge.

And sometimes,
perhaps,
on a perfect day
under a perfect sky
a perfect black cat
with eyes like glowing stones
races across your path
and waits in the early ferns
for you to cross hers.
