The Maze Poem by Noah Body

Wandering, lost in the endless maze
Fearing what in the next room lays

A son, a brother, a husband, a friend
A father, grandfather or maybe the end

Footsteps fill emptiness with hollow echoes
Icy cold darkness where not a candle glows

Stumbling onward for time without end
Ever fearing what lies around the next bend

Keenly aware of someone who must be found
Yet certain that he will never again be around

He ended in torment many years in the past
From existence he was by the beast outcast

Hopeless and forlorn him I know I'll not find
Lost anywhere in this lonely maze in my mind
