Deep in the south a spider came forth
and I’ll call him Mike from the north
because he crept into my tears
and cobwebbed desire into fear.

Thick over dreams but thin in the real
he turns my sighs into screams
and shakes the sand of creation
into a moving realization.

Only God knows where he’s going to
and what he is going to do
when he like a drunk with no spunk
can’t pack his own traveling trunk
but from heaven a helping hand
to unravel a friendship band.

I dream of a clean southern shore
and surely have done that before
where the sun rises faithfully mine
through ever prevailing time.
so whistles and bells, wind chimes, and spells
and spiders can march off to hell …
but they always run from the fire
until love is their only desire.

Gosh, Helen, Mike from the north sounds like he is the male version of a black widow spider!

May the sun soon rise faithfully on that clean southern shore!

Warm, healing hug,
Linda
P.S. Here is a bottle of bug spray!

Linda - we must remember that the world is not what it seems when one looks through the eyes of a woman like me but bug spray sure is okay for a spider that's simply a spider. Thanks because I'm not a great lover of spiders.

Startime - life is great if one doesn't weaken in the face of spiders. Yuk!

Liked the analogy, Helen!
