Yesterday I walked the labyrinth
Traced path on canvas covering the floor
Church Meeting Hall transformed.
Mystical wordless moment spoke
Welcome so warm I shed tears
And knew at once I had arrived
At a place I know by heart
Promise of challenge and possibility.
Other pilgrims walked the path.
Silently we made our way
In to the center and out again
All moving, breathing, stepping wide
To let each other pass on narrow curves
As one people. With joy I laughed
To understand we are community
Joined in wide world by love.
I really love walking a labyrinth. Of any kind. And your poem expresses the experience wonderfully.
Thanks, Janet. It was amazing to hear the comments of people in the church who had never walked a labyrinth. Their experience holds true with what I have felt in the past. It is an awesome thing.
So beautiful and wonderful! Happy for you!
Thank you, Lynn.

I love labyrinths, what a wonderful experience of this one you had.
Thanks, Andrea. I’m glad to know you also love labyrinths.
I meant to tell you: I know another blogger who walks the labyrinths. elainepinkerton.wordpress.com
Thanks, Luanne. I’m glad to know about her.
Such heartfelt words. Beautifully written. Thank you for sharing your labyrinths experience.
Thanks for your comment. It was an amazing experience I want to share.
The journey to the center… I enjoy labyrinths because they are a physical manifestation of what I often attempt to do when writing… Journey to the center… Touch lives along the way! Beautiful words of sacred journey.
I like your comment about your writing as a journey to the center. Thanks for your comment on my poetry.
