labyrinth
the path meanders
weaves to the heart, returning
to the beginning

For NaPoWriMo 2019 Prompt #24: write a poem that, like “Dictionary Illustrations,” is inspired by a reference book. Locate a dictionary, thesaurus, or encyclopedia, open it at random, and consider the two pages in front of you to be your inspirational playground for the day. Maybe a strange word will catch your eye, or perhaps the mishmash of information will provide you with the germ of a poem.
Work was a monster today…I had hoped to write a poem over lunch, but…I did not get lunch! I did manage to snap a photo of the random page I found when I opened the dictionary. My eyes settled upon the word Labyrinth. I have walked many a labyrinth in my life, and I think the universe is telling me I need to find another one to lose myself in. The truth is you can never really get lost in a true labyrinth, but the you who enters is never the same you that comes out. Namasté. ☯️

A serendipitous labyrinth sounds just perfect to me!
As to the countdown to retirement, I think there is a poetry project there – Retirement Rondel, or similar!

Today’s NaPoWriMo just might fit the bill Peter. I’ve been tweaking it on and off all morning…stay tuned. Today’s them has to do with seasons. 😉

Me too Michael. I used to walk one regularly. It was on my way home from where I worked. I haven’t taken time to find one here since I moved. I believe there are two in town. Must check them out! 🙂
