Following the instructions

As they pertain to this puzzel.

I became lost in the maze

Of descriptive nuances.

 

Likened to a path in a woods,

Where I wander seeking escape.

Never placing a marker,

Always going in circles.

 

Soon my hunger came to me,

As my tired feet began to swell.

Walking has led me astray and lost

In a woods that would claim my life.

 

My bones may one day be found

And next to them will lie the finder.

He too became lost and died-

Adding to the bones of the wanderer.

I am one of those people that gets lost constantly. I have no idea of of north, south, east and west and always felt so inadequate because this but one day in our local paper they devoted a whole page about just this subject and it lifted my spirits when I read how many senators and congressman have drivers because they too have the same affliction as I do. Who would have guessed.

Absolutely got involved with the words of this grand poem, George. You have taken on a different way of taking charge of your poetry and man, I am very much enjoying it.

This is a gem. The last stanza is classic. You are getting better all the time.

Sometimes instructions need to be ignored.
Sometimes followed.
Sometimes learned from.

Quite a tale, George; you give added impact to the concept of "lost." Love, peace, and blessings to you,
