The heart of the labyrinth

Labyrinth heart

The labyrinth has now

An added fixture 

In its inner sanctum:

A double spiral 

Taking shape in its heart,

'Tis like a cherry on the cake.

It adds a "Je ne sais quoi"

To the labyrinth.

I'm not sure about

If it brings spirituality,

If there is any,

That is to say,

To the complete machine

But it feels complete now.

I couldn't stand in its centre,

An empty inner chamber,

Facing me.

It is now grounded.

The Greeks put in theirs,

Either a Minotaur 

Or a snakes filled pit,

Both options, in my opinion

Rather a bit over the top,

And then just as a question of interest

How do you keep a Minotaur ?

Have to feed it everyday, 

More to the point 

Where does one go to find one?

The snakes are no so much a problem

We have magnificent ones here

Brown, Red bellied black snakes! 

But really, 

For our modern world

Where people 

Want to resource themselves

Not to be destroyed in the process

A double spiral is sufficient

In the heart of the labyrinth.
