Crystal Web

 
over the years, I grew
dark & more demented
slowly transforming into
cold & calculated

I've been spinning a web
intricate and connecting
I've caught many items
that were meaningless, empty

then one day a spider
came trotting along
and he asked me if he
could weave me a song

so I bundled up my satin
into a cacoon
crystal web of safety
of solitude

a space free of clutter
no burdens, no mystery
it is here I sit now
with the truth, with clarity
