A Way Out

I'm intrigued by spider webs

The architectural beauty that appears in the night

Delicate enough to cradle a dew drop

Deadly enough to ensnare the unsuspecting

 I've watched the flight of the erratic fly

Who with one wrong turn finds himself stuck to the web

And in a panic begins to thrash about

Only to entangle himself more

 sealing his fate

(ok so I often release them but don't tell my biker buds)

It's inevitable that there comes a time in our journey

that we find ourselves stuck in the web

and in a panic thrash about

trying to claw our way out

wanting to bite off the foot that's caught in the trap

the fear of the moment clouding all reason

Something akin to walking a tightrope 

in the dark

without a balance bar or safety net

(dramatic today huh) 

Sometimes it's better to lie still

and hold on tight

To let the wave of irrational fear pass over 

Until you remember that there is always a way out

That although you can't see

You need to rely on faith

Or yell for help really loud

and be open to seeing the match strike

that will light your way out of the dark 

or pluck you off the web

 Remember the Wizard of Oz?

There's always a rational way out of the dark Haunted Forest

just remember

Never NEVER let the flying monkeys get you

Love to all of you who made me laugh yesterday

when I was dangling from the tightrope
