The Labyrinth

The centre is so close --
the barrier between us
a mere hint of
fragile iridescence.
One more step,
and I'll have reached my goal,
won the prize,
victory at last.

But somehow,
you draw me gently
onto a new path,
winding into mystery.
Though I seem to
leave you behind,
you are
close as my heart
as I wander
from spiral to spiral
discovering myself and you.
