Close Encounter


I feel like I'm in a close encounter.  

Like I'm a black widow spider 

Caught in it's web and can't get out.  

I keep spinning my wheels to no avail. 

Eventually the spider can't go on, 

Gets sick and dies.  


The spider tries and does it's best 

But is not appreciated.  

So, it has no other choice, and must leave.  


She's on another journey in her short life.  

Hopefully, next time it will be better.  


It carries on in another realm.  

And so let the journey begin.

Encounter


I've had many close encounters 

But none of them have been the same.  

Some of my encounters are unimaginable. 

Others are just too short lived.  


Many of them are unattainable.  

Some are exceptional.  

But most are accessible.  


Some encounters are creative.  

Others are inspiring.  

Yet many are interesting.  


Encounters can be wild.  

They are exciting.  

They are lovely.  

They are realistic.  

They are excellent.  

They are sent by God.  

They are sensitive.  

They are great.  

They are good.  

They are directive. 

They are calm. 

They are wonderful.  

They are close encounters.
