"A Spider Spun a Web"
Until today
I never watched
A spider spin
A Web.
I guess
I never
Had the time.
It's intercate strings
Run rings
Around the pioneers
Of yesterday.
It made me realise
What i took
For granted
And the stupid things
I said.
The beauty of nature
Vs the selfishness
And disgrace
Of the human race .
A spider
Lives on instinct
Until it made extinct
Crushed by a stampead
Of fantastic footwear
And scared mothers
Standing on chairs
And screaming for
Father.
But there's something
Extremely
Calming watching a spider
Spin a Web.
Nature made it this way.
I never watched
A spider spin
A Web.
I guess
I never
Had the time.
It's intercate strings
Run rings
Around the pioneers
Of yesterday.
It made me realise
What i took
For granted
And the stupid things
I said.
The beauty of nature
Vs the selfishness
And disgrace
Of the human race .
A spider
Lives on instinct
Until it made extinct
Crushed by a stampead
Of fantastic footwear
And scared mothers
Standing on chairs
And screaming for
Father.
But there's something
Extremely
Calming watching a spider
Spin a Web.
Nature made it this way.

A poem about watching a spider spining a Web, and the moment of clarity I so desperately needed.

I love this all around us can be chaos but nature remains pure
and true to itself it's so reassuring... I see you've been here since 2012
I've been kicking around here since 2011 I think it's been a while for you?
anyway great write 💕

Hi there
Yeah I had a bit of a epiphany just before I wrote this. A spider spun a Web in the kitchen and I watched the spider build it's Web, I think there was something reassuring and the realisation that I've always been to busy to even observe this. My take away was "slow down and let nature take its course" all words to that effect.
I've been on here a while now, though it doesnot seem like it, the years have flown by, but still enjoying being on here and writing the odd poem or two.
Many thanks for reading and commentIng much apprecated.
