I'm like a spider's web
Spun from finest silk
My strength
Unmatched
until Man comes along
He shakes me down
Brushes me off
and
Walks
Right
Through

Shaking lips and hips, hands
fingers refuse to move
my feet -- like glue
like I'm the Rat
in a trap
You bowled me over
Shook me up
and plowed right
Through

but in the end
It was just
a kiss to you.

Trip the rift
the great divide
In your head
you cannot hide

Blue and Black
and...
Turpentine

But, this you can't erase--
Oil stains the canvas deep.

First snowfall
drifting down
over fallen leaves
covering the world
outside my window
in a blanket of white
saying "Shhh... hush
now. It's time for the
Earth to rest."
I'll keep her safe
frozen in time
until she can
begin anew
in Spring.

Do you ever feel
you're drowning
and that hand
You thought
was coming
to help...

It pushes you down
Instead.
