black spider

Black spider where do you go???
Is it not enough you heed no warnings??
To know there may be nothing across that land??

Yet you, spider keep on walking and searching,

But for what??

For the stars???
For the sky???

Even though you may be blind you still travel the earth,
Trying to find your proper place in this world…

A dead bird once told you “there was nothing to gain,
But pain be thy maker and sorrow your only future,
You cant escape the grasp of this treacherous downfall”

But spider why do you keep going??
What do you gain???
Why do you try to live and fight???

You kept failing and yet you still kept trying,
You looked up and saw the heavens as they called to you,
The winged beasts and insects of the sky laughed at you,

The earth shrouded you in false protection as you lost a leg,
Day by day………………….

But why??

Blind and crippled spider….why do you try??
What is left in this world for you to gain??

Are your tears not enough a sign to stop……
The pool of your own blood…is it only so little,
Yet you, you, black spider…….

You kept looking up to the heavens
You kept looking at the winged beasts
You kept dreaming your same dream…

And one day you took the feathers of flight

And you went to the tallest branch and you jumped…….

You didn’t care if it would be your last…..
all you wanted was the heavens below you…..


As you sailed through the sky,
You felt your life quickly pass you by,
Because little black spider……
you couldn’t even fly……..
