LIFE SPINS A TANGLED WEB

LIFE SPINS A TANGLED WEB

From birth to death, we spin a web
But where will it ever end?
To catch a dream or capture prey
Spinning endlessly to mend.

Our childhood so fragile
We cannot exist alone
Someone else must care for us
Provide for us a home.

Though  tangles may unravel as we continue along life's path
Through darkest skies, we search for light
Learning nothing is promised to last.

Consequences of our choices
Will determine how strong the thread
Silky smooth and sailing free
Above obstacles that now seem dead.

If winds create a nusience
All our work could be in vain
Gathering venom with persistance
Will overcome the rough terrain.

Gazing through sunlit forests
Clinging to blowing trees
Is all the world on fire
As we float with endless breeze?

Spinning lifelines for another
Wears one down as we grow old
Give me just enough thread to finish
When my own life  story's told.

Spinning, spinning spinning
Will it end when I'm no longer here?
Will it pass on to another younger soul
There is never a reason to fear.
So....
Let the sunlight glisten  on the silver threads you weave
Always spreading hope and joy, and reasons to believe.
