an old web

It was an oldest web of understanding, in which the enviorment basked equilibrium.
The web was strong and supported by each generation, constantly improved where that could be done.
Snipping a strand and spinning one stronger,
The web was old and of understanding.
It was not perfect.

"But I want more!"
The new web that was spun was weak, giving no benifits.

"Again!"

The new web that was spun was weak, giving little benifits and a base.
The old web abandoned, you can hear them.
Some quietly mutter about how the new web should be destroyed and yet there they are; enjoying the little benifits.
Some shout and yell about how the new web should be destroyed and yet there they are; enjoying the little benifits.
Others do the oppisite.

They don't think about building off the oldest web.

  • Succulent

    There is a small plant that sits on the corner of my life.

    It is a tough little plant;
    I have not watered it.
    I do not give it soil, but I do take it, and throw it to the wind.
  • List

    You succeeded but you failed
    You succeeded but you failed
    You succeeded
    You succeeded but you failed

    You are above their bar and below yours
    You survived but you do not celebrate

    They say you reached for the stars.
  • Dying songbird

    Please don't leave me, you dying songbird.

    Your song is still beautiful, no matter the notes, no matter the order
    Please don't leave your rusting cage via shoebox, friend.
