The Spiders' Web

by Dark Kitten   Jul 21, 2005


I wonder alone through endless sorrow......

A dark emptiness fills my soul,
.........I am alone....... I am alone,
through this darkness I must travel,
to search myself ....

to find myself .....

Everyday I search,
Everyday I find nothing,

My true self evades me,
In this darkness,
.........I am alone...... I am alone,

Till that blessed day,
A small beam of light within the darkness,
Shining through the spiders web,

The light calls me in .........
Like a moth to a flame,

The spider calls me to her web,
Her blessed web inside the light,
Inside the darkness,
Inside my..... soul,
And there shes trapped me,
Evermore,

That lovely spider,
In her glorious web,
She holds my heart now!
Evermore,

.......I was alone..... I was alone,

    Great ending - the repetition throught the poem really gives power to the last line, in past tense instead of present.

    Peace. [Sole]
