Uncharted Wisdom: Navigating Life's Maze
If still, after everything you have lived,
You find yourself adrift, confused, and lost,
In the labyrinth of life's complex maze,
I shan't be the one to provide the way,
For wisdom must be earned, not simply taught,
And understanding won't be easily gained.
With intellect sharp, a keen mind attained,
Through lessons learned, experiences lived,
You'll grasp the truths that can't be merely taught,
Nor found in books or lectures, but when lost,
And wandering through paths that seem astray,
You'll find your own unique, uncharted maze.
In life's enigmatic, puzzling maze,
The answers aren't handed out, nor gained
Through shortcuts or external guides; you're lost
To find yourself, and through the lessons lived,
You'll come to know the path that's not just taught,
But earned through struggles, trials, and dismayed.
Sometimes, the answers won't come as you'd hoped,
And clarity may seem an elusive maze,
But do not seek a savior to be taught,
For true understanding can't be simply gained,
But forged through challenges bravely lived,
And hardships overcome, though at a cost.
It's in the moments when you feel most lost,
That you'll uncover truths that were un-hoped,
Revelations in the midst of life lived,
Insights that guide you through the winding maze,
And illuminate a path that's truly gained,
Not through external means that can be taught.
So, if you seek answers that can't be taught,
Embrace the journey, though you may feel lost,
And know that wisdom's riches are well gained,
When you're willing to explore beyond hope,
And navigate the twists and turns of the maze,
With courage, resilience, and lessons lived.
For I won't be the one to hold the key,
Or offer explanations neatly taught,
But trust in your own power to navigate the maze,
Even when the way ahead seems dark and lost,
And through the struggles and uncertainties hoped,
You'll find the truths that can't be simply gained.
So, if still, after everything you've lived,
You seek understanding that can't be taught,
Embrace the maze, though at times you feel lost,
And trust that wisdom's treasures will be gained.
Through introspection, reflection, and strife,
Embrace the journey with an open mind,
And let go of the need to be taught,
For knowledge gained through lived experience,
Is a treasure that cannot be lost,
But a beacon to navigate life's maze.
Let go of expectations, let them maze,
And find your own unique, authentic life,
For truths that resonate cannot be lost,
But are discovered through curiosity, mind
Open to new perspectives, not just taught,
But earned through moments fully lived.
Embrace the beauty of a life well lived,
With all its twists and turns, its intricate maze,
And cherish the wisdom that can't be just taught,
But is woven through the fabric of your life,
A tapestry of moments that shape the mind,
And hold truths that cannot be easily lost.
So, if you find yourself feeling lost,
Remember that it's part of the journey lived,
And that understanding is not just in the mind,
But in the heart, the soul, the winding maze,
Of emotions, experiences, and life,
A wisdom that can't be solely taught.
For if still, after everything, you've sought
Answers that seem elusive, you're not lost,
But on a quest for meaning in this life,
A quest that's uniquely yours to be lived,
With all its challenges, twists, and turns of maze,
An adventure that expands the horizons of the mind.
So, let go of the notion of being taught,
And trust in the power of a life well lived,
Even when the path seems unclear, or you feel lost in the maze.
For wisdom's truest form is not just gained,
Through instruction, but through the soul's own mind,
Embracing the journey, even when lost in life's intricate maze.
