The Web We Weave

 

 

Oh how wicked the beauty

of a spiders lair-

captivating the dew

caught upon her snare.

The moth that is wrapped

now flutters in fright

sought in the dark

now searches for light.

Entranced are we

gossamer truth and lies

as she suckles the blood

who hears the moth cry?

The splendor is wicked

upon the net we weave

Cobwebs in our head

stay, no reprieve.

Wind rushes upon the frailty

yet the knot holds fast,

the mesh we create

to future, from past.

The Labyrinth remains

our hearts still wrapped

as the moth that is glued

to the spider clings trapped.

Yet, we grapple each thought

till’ it creates a net of our lives

each strand leaving wonder

distance between sighs.

Like a leaf that is captured

as it danced in the breeze

the thread becomes tangled

to become

                               the web we weave.
