It happend,
right before my eyes
So quick,
it’d have easily passed me by
had I not looked up
and seen it happen,
right before my eyes
Scared me to see the
helpless, tiny creature dangle there…
Scared me to see the
wispy-legged spider ready to tear
Scared me that fear kept
me from helping it
Scared me to see it struggle…
to quit
Scared me to know it had to die this way
Awed me that it did have the strength
to fly away.
It all happened,
right before my eyes
So quick,
it’d have easily passed me by
had I not looked up
and seen it happen,
right before my eyes
I related it to life:
Us, the creature,
Evil, the spider…
We get caught and think
quitting is our only way out…
Others watch us, wanting
to help, but don’t, perhaps
because of fear
But, sometimes…it’s not up to them…
Most of the time, it’s up to us..
to find that strength
to fly away.
