Spider Webs of Life

 Devian Art 

If an aging spider were to spin its web
Across my mind
let it be a blanket of
warm remembrance.

If an aging spider were to make a home
In my shoe
Let it be a spider that
Loves adventure.

If an aging spider were to come
To live by my side
Let it be a book spider
Spinning words in the air.

If an aging spider were to
Whisper in my ear
Let the words be
A plan for life to come.

Beautiful loops of
Fanciful dreams
Spun by a aging spider
Just for us.


Writing and poetry are hobbies that I began to pursue after I retired.  Come and join me.

    Well, one at least.

  5. Thank you all for your comment...I have always seen aging as a spider web that begins to lay over our lives. In the end we can view it as our friend or as our enemy. What do you think?
