A Web Of Life

a silent spider climbs my wall

it stays at the center

builds a home there

webs of comfort

they say such a sight

such a neighbor

as such a spider

is a symbol of good fortune

good fortune they say

will be mine

when the silent spider shares a home with me

i wonder if the silent spider knows

it also has good fortune

as such a person

a neighbor like me

let it live within my walls.
