Living In the Web

Woven mesh of the past
we push outward at your strands
stretching them, but never breaking
You snap back and entangle, ever tightening
until you seem to wrap us about the neck,
suffocating.

what we don't understand
is that your strands are not meant to be broken
they are meant to be plucked and strummed
they play the notes and chords of our future

the songs they sing
echo in our souls
and reveal the harmony
we must find in our lives
