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
