Lady Shakira Rose's blog: "Poetry In Motion"

This is a small piece written for those of us who have had the disinctt pleasure of having been bitten by a spider. Specifically a "brown recluse". Their bite is quite painful and the after effects not much better I had the distinct pleasure of a formal introduction. One of the eight legged little beasties paid my couch a visit while I was reading. I felt the bite and slapped at my leg. It was too late, it got me just by the knee instead. I was allergic it seems, I started to itch. I went to emergency, got stuck with IV. 6 hours later I well on my way Meds are prescibed and I'm loopy as hell. Now leg is sore and the skin will die. Another new scar as if I don't enough. Well watch out for those eight legged beasties. Their bite is no fun They you should shun!!! Lady Shakira Rose

We all desire our world to be a perfect painting Our friends true and gracious Our family healthy and close to us In any given moment that can all change Friends become distant Family are lost or become ill We look at the world around us We wonder what has become of our more gentle world Trees in the distance seen bare Men and women stand apart People not daring to seek comfort from a stranger We have all become so distant in this world of ours Our eyes overlooking a smile, a gesture, even the slightest movement of friendship or compassion Reach out and embrace your fellow man Every moment your canvas of life remains blank: is a moment you have lost A chance at finding a friend or making a difference in someone else's life Or maybe your OWN A chance at finding LOVE A chance at being WHOLE Gather yourself to Him Rejoice in life Make a differnce!
