THE SPIDER WEB
Photo by OGphoto.com
To watch the world through a spider web… as watching the future through the
web of the memories… wishing that everything you know about the dust of the
ways you have ever walked on would help you choose the paths of the future…
But the reflection of the memories web is cheating like a dusty mirror ; the
reflected image is never identical and only when you recognize steps you have
made before, then you understand that you are actually walking on the tracks of
your own errors.
The same goes for the spider web. Seen
through its perfection, the world seems more beautiful. That is why you just
admire it from behind the spider web. Because you are sorry to spoil its
perfection… or because it is easier to watch the ways beyond it than to walk
on them.
But the spider web gets thicker with time.
And gradually your window towards a dreamworld becomes gray and dull. A window
covered by curtains, beyond which nothing is to be seen anymore. Except for an
immense loneliness here, on the side of your heart.
Only the light of a candle can get through
the spider web, sometimes, late at night. The flame getting narrow towards the
tip, takes the shape of a path getting lost at the horizon, reminding you the
ways that have uselessly waited for you.
But it is late ; what has once been your
window towards the ideal world is now your prison ; and all you can do is to
fall asleep thinking of the flame you barely can see anymore and hope the path
of light starting on the other side of the spider web will wipe away, at least
in dream, your wrong ways.
