Intricate Web of Life

my life has been one hell of an adventure so far

so many paths

so many obstacles

so many twists and turns

each path

led to the same destination

each obstacle

i fought

and made my way through

on to the same path i wanted to avoid

each step i took

i stumbled onto a new path

onto a new adventure

a brand new adventure with the same story

with the usual ending

until,

my life became one big indiana jones adventure

given up on life

i banished myself into the forests

with a view to rebuild my life

lady luck deserted me long time ago

with hope and confidence

i slowly tried to weave my life back together

slowly and steadily

i started weaving

luck was never in my favor

the web that was to be my life

slowly gave awayone by one

the strands that made my web

fell down

one by one

i slowly rebuilt them

again and again

again and again

it was the same

over and over again

time has taken its toll

the life that i wanted to “weave”now lay in tatters

the web that i built

is almost in ruins

against this bitter cold wind

determined to make a last stand

i barricade myself

and stand my ground on this lone strand (of web)

that is left of my “web”

hope is all i have

in this precarious position

all i can hope is

the web that i once nurtured with love and care

stays with me

all i can hope is

the web that is my life

does not turn into my final resting place

hope is all i have

hope is all i can hope for.......

now and ever....
