The spider spins inspiration
Can words describe how I feel
Do they possess the power to heal
Bearing this question in mind
I find myself peering deep within
A spiders silky woven web
A wholly intricate design
Suddenly I realize this is a sign
The arachnid has spun
A lavishly proficient symbol
A perfect metaphor
The web of words available
To tap into and utilize
For personal self expression
Like the spider
I too can spin my own lines
Evolve thoughts into words
Giving birth to my glistening web
Upon this revelation
I pick up pen and paper
Open heart and mind
Allowing my spirit to speak
The answer to my question is:
Words can describe how I feel
They do have the power to heal
So may you begin to spin your web----------------------------
About this poem
I wanted to use the analogy of a spider's web to the effectiveness of an authors written word
