A Collection of Stardust: Poems

Spider's Thread

The End (2014)

I see nothing

But darkness,

As I crouch at the bottom

Of the abyss.

No hope,

Nor light of sun's soft glow.

For I am trapped

Too far below.

But then

An ethereal line of silk

For me to hold.

A spider's thread

So delicate, thin, that

I hesitate.

Will it hold my weight so bold?

Yet I'm tired of this

Nothingness,

Blackness,

Bleakness,

Weakness?

No.

I outstretch my hand

And grab a hold.

For I am human,

This my power,

That even here,

In darkest hour,

In deepest pit,

In blackest hole,

I will grab

This spider's thread,

And pull.
