Falling in love is like traversing a maze… <br />There are so many false starts, <br />So many abrupt dead-ends, <br />So many tantalising glimpses of the end in sight, <br />Before you actually find the right path to take. <br /> <br />Growing that love is like building a maze… <br />You have to work hard to build the foundations, <br />To nourish the growing seeds within, <br />To develop the length and breadth of it, <br />Before you know that you have something solid and worthy. <br /> <br />Sustaining that love is like maintaining a maze… <br />It needs consideration to remain alive and well, <br />It needs a healthy dose of respect to understand its mysteries, <br />It needs careful pruning to ensure it doesn’t become wild and unruly, <br />Before you are confident that what you have together meets your expectations. <br /> <br />(2005)<br /><br />Sharon L Norris<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/love-is-like-a-maze/
