An inspirational poem from my collection.

The webs we weave for ourselves are
Intricate, delicate and intentional
Magnificently strong and functional
This structure we cannot equal.
The parallels we find are incredibly similar
We are responsible for our own actions
Yet we feel that there is something else that guides us
It is woven into our subconscious
It leads us to complete the things we must do
For our survival
There is symmetry,
a pattern that we create
No matter what happens
we carry that knowledge
and we continue making webs
Weaving our own destiny
Making our own tapestry

    You have a gift with words. I still am in amazement the gifts you and some of the other writers were given and thank you for sharing them with us. Not only did god give us gifts but he gave us free will and thats the first thing that came to mind when I read your poem. God bless Lucy and thank-you for your kind words on mine. You are also a very funny person that made me laugh with one of your comments on my photographs.

    Just showing some luv, i wish Authspot had a writers profile page showing us authors more about each other, that would be cool, knowing what angle we’re coming from. Yeah, this poem is both simple (well, not really…) and sweet. Ok, its kind of complex.. no.. Well.. Ok, i think your fans would like to hear more from you.
