This web of silk
Spun so well
Holding me in misery
I need to feel the wind tearing loose the cobs
To feel the joy
The peace of nature
Washing cross my feet the water
Flowing as I wander in the stream
To dream again
Without worry
Of night mares…
…of you
…of me without you
To swim again in a pool, clear and cool
Christened among the fishes
Reborn to life, where
Hope seeks the horizon
Yet, content among the fishes
Swimming for the sake
The sun upon the banks
Warming there in wait
Casting off the spiders
Tearing at my heart

The Silk About My Heart

Contributed by wheels on Tuesday, 1st July 2008 @ 03:11:15 PM in AEST
Topic: EmotionalPoetry

I need to get free
This web of silk
Spun so well
Holding me in misery
I need to feel the wind tearing loose the cobs
To feel the joy
The peace of nature
Washing cross my feet the water
Flowing as I wander in the stream
To dream again
Without worry
Of night mares…
…of you
…of me without you
To swim again in a pool, clear and cool
Christened among the fishes
Reborn to life, where
Hope seeks the horizon
Yet, content among the fishes
Swimming for the sake
The sun upon the banks
Warming there in wait
Casting off the spiders
Tearing at my heart

Omigosh! This metaphor was wonderfully done.

The words you chose were so perfectly emotive, taking the reader from
the heartache of being bound, to the freedom of breaking those binds and
waking to a "newness" of life. A very cleansing write.

Though this may still be a struggle for you, the power you are claiming in
your writes will convince your heart eventually that you are and WILL be
okay. :)

This was a wonderful post!

Well this is a in~the~moment....Lots better than mine.! I do hope the water takes you to a whole differ part of the ocean, or maybe the lake. There are many , many, many fish to explore......You are a good writer, and writing straight from the heart are MY kinds of writes...always.
