The Shores of Alone

Thoughts and memories,
like cobwebs made of finest dust
wrap around me when I pass by
and stick to me with a stubbornness
born of desperation.
The spider wants to eat.
Little did he know my unknowing hand
was about to invade his plan.
I try to brush it away, yet it won't go.
I am, in fact, more entrenched with every move.
Yet I am not a fly, to be devoured momentarily.
No, just a woman who cannot let go.

Ahh, gentle one, there is a time, when we have to walk away, hmm, I did post something about that, didn't I? ...gentle smile, maybe it was just for you

your final line is quite good. Another very meaningful yet accesible piece.

My compliments.

now this is an excellent metaphor here Sandra. . . I like the idea that we're all just flies caught in that web that's woven by those who would like to keep us there. . .

great job. . .

Seems the more we struggle against the web...the more of it entangles.  Impressive!

Letting go is always the hardest part, but in the end it is best.  Nice write.  

All writing comes
by the grace of God.
