Caught in a spiderweb,

Everything is, as it is.

The unfathomable horror.

Struggle.
The fly surely does.

No comfort.

The hunter waits...

Exhaustion,
acceptance,
embracing life

the beginning to the end.

The end is near.

At this moment,
he is re-born.

The fly is dead,
the victim born,
twinned by the same soul,
sharing the same shell.

He knows only now.

Living in a moment,
changes the reality of time.

A lifetime lived in an exhaled breath.

Good and evil do not exist.

There is only,

this.

As he grows old,

The collector awakes...

the dreaded certainty of the fly that "today is my death" then... lo! it breaks free... but what should it do? It has a new lease on life... a second chance... might as well get back in the web i say

Whether we stand, or whether we fall, the Grim Reaper stalks us all. As we live, & as we die, the soul is a gleam in the Reaper's eye. ~Shane~

Once again a very powerful write... something that I often think about myself but have never found the words. Bethany
