w h o s p e aks? a tremor, a wide eyed man whispers in the dark. and it was a gut instinct, a reflect, cerebral barely lighted up before the hammer went down to smash a nail daring to stick out. c r a ck a regret, a nostalgia, a bargaining if had to have to must but rationale is an odd ball when the end is the same end rich or poor alike. they all stare into the abyss infinite and gold coffers, a devil's advocate silently retreats. the journey then? this time s p a n and spring out those lovely lies soothing to the ears! c r ack an egg, barely ready c rush life not able to test waters when solid paths merge with the ephemeral. untouched, unspoiled roads, trails, they may as well have been clouds when fantasy and psychology give a firm handshake. now taken for reality, for there is little else to go by - save experience, a poor teacher when the maze has already shifted, the minotaur sets loose his minions feel them - - - fear, desolation, despondency shame guilt damnation cripples a warrior who is no longer fit for knighthood. while the minotaur advances - his minions have done their work well, enchant the prey! then siren, succubus mammon mouths avarice and a dance is made. s m a sh as warriors and maidens fall shsssssssssssssssh don't tell the person listening behind this door, as muffled screams quiet down. tap tap tap down the corridors winding winding staircases and hidden eggs hatch, they do not hasten to the call of instinct, or the minds of a labyrinth meant to dismantle faith, the mind to spiral - hushed out. a new line emerges, untested, unspoiled, fantasy meets psychology, and a touch of faith becoming more firm, a shell hardens, a fire burst inside, then the minions they came - splat shame, fear a host of hexes, curses stick on the life daring to rebel against the $ god. who goes there? and this time the tremor was gone, eyes keen senses alive as labels on the outside do not touch breathing fire. it was not logic, not feelings, certainly not the man who held on to the only thing that the minotaur, the labyrinth had no power over: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. you hear me don't you? and that fire blazed at the voice.
