Chasing through this labyrinth
With a single life.
Never conscious of what may transpire.
The mind is forever working.
The connections precise and intricate
Thoughts lost in a conception.

A baby born after the conception
gains rudimentary thoughts about this labyrinth.
coiling around all that is intricate.
No notion yet about life.
Their abstract cognition not working.
Their brain will transpire.

Teens have yet to learn what may transpire.
Their ideas still haven’t formed into a conception
Yet the brain is working.
The difficulty is greater as we work through this labyrinth
Called life.
How perplexing and intricate.

The elder’s brain wires are the most intricate.
Fore their thinking is soon to transpire.
A meaning of life?
Though this capability may only be a conception
Infinite possibilities for concluding this labyrinth
Because life is still working.

What is working
Is the fact that this life is intricate
The creation of this labyrinth
Helps god learn what will transpire.
Although, this all could be a conception.
Maybe nothing is tangible, and there is no life.



What is the point of life
If you’re burdened with working?
There is this conception
That life must be intricate.
But maybe simplicity is what’s supposed to transpire.
Maybe there is no physical labyrinth

Why does life have to be intricate?
People are always working to transpire.
Maybe one day we can have a conception that will get us through this labyrinth.
