A Spider's Web
For what is life
But a series of convoluted steps each interconnected with the finest intricacy of a spider's web.
What does one do if they step off these paths
or find their strings crossed?
What do they think when they look to their left
just to see another web perfectly whole?
Delicate
Symmetrical
Beautiful
Then they look to their own and can't help but see the left side is skewed.
A line, fatter than it should be.
They look at that other web.
And so they stop.
What are they to do but sit and think?
Why can't I do that?
What point did I go wrong?
Suspended in the air with no way down because it is too late to turn back.
And they give up.
