A mazed: picture a child with a balloon

by Simon Auchterlonie

I walk on ... a stage, to be lost as in a maze

While it is circumstance alone that allows me. . .

An opportunity to choose, from the limited

Direction of a circumspect future ...

For there, there is no light to behold or

Destiny to desire.

But it is by the Faith

Which as a balloon elevates

A soul, to discern: Reality. A Truth that is, to be found

All around and now I see that

I am free.
