In the maze of life, where paths entwine,
A quest for meaning, elusive design.
Vanity’s allure, a tempting call,
In the endless race, we risk a fall.
Belonging sought in the crowded space,
Competing endlessly, a futile chase.
Yet we run, in pursuit of it all,
Searching everywhere, finding naught in life’s sprawl.
Through twists and turns, the journey unfolds,
Lost in the echoes of stories untold.
A relentless quest, a never-ending ride,
Yet the more we seek, the more we hide.
In the cacaphony s llof ambition’s glare,
Reflections of emptiness, silent despair.
A timeless pursuit, a quest in vain,
For what we seek, we may never gain.
So in the maze, let introspection be,
Find solace within, set your spirit free.
For in the stillness, the truth is found,
In letting go, in the silent sound.
