Life's labyrinth

[SomeRandom]

First poem in post is the latest revision. I'm posting older versions for perspective.

current version
I awoke without warning,
within labyrinth walls, stretching into the foggy recesses of the mind.
Among timeless trees I crept,
dodging python roots,
within thickets dripping in darkness,
oxygen drowning.

Eyelids forgotten, I groped the mossy walls.

With dusty limbs and paranoid visions my journey met its end.
Surrendered,
at the foot of an oak, the universe enveloped me.

I awoke one day without warning,
within labyrinth walls-- stretching beyond measure.
Among timeless trees I crept,
dodging python roots in thickets dripping in darkness,

Eyelids forgotten, I groped the mossy walls;
they were my eyes.

With dusty limbs and paranoid visions my journey met its end.
Surrendered,
at the foot of an oak, the universe enveloped me.

(((Older version)))

I awoke in a labyrinth, walls stretch beyond measure.
Timeless trees innumerable
I crept through thickets drenched in darkness
dodging roots that wrap round ankles like pythons.
Blindfolded neglected eyelids,
fears fed fire; time abandoned structure.

Suspicion grew
of my labour's scope and end,
like weeds unchecked.
Immobilized in thought,
I found myself surrendered,
resting at the foot of an oak;
I pondered the years, story and quest,
the uncertainty of existence,
futility of resistance,
familiarity of death.

I awoke in a labyrinth, walls stretch beyond measure.
Timeless trees innumerable, roots wrap round ankles like pythons.
I crept through thickets drenched in darkness,
Unblinking, eyelids lacking purpose,
As time abandoned structure.

Suspicion grew like weeds unchecked,
Of my direction and purpose,
Immobilized in thought I found myself surrendered,
Under this wise old oak.

I sat meekly twiddling my thumbs,
Pondering the years, story and quest,
The uncertainty of existence,
And the futility of resistance.
