Knotty

I cannot just confront the spider web 
It sticks to my face wherever I go 
Like the physique-psyche entangling ebb 
Uncertainty, in each vein, seems to flow  

Muscle knot happens; so too do vein knots
Isn't Kith and Kin link-line a we too?
There are knots amidst showy flower pots 
Doesn't the relationships seem to woe?

I say to my children to be careful 
Life, indeed, is a web, so enticing
Good and bad walk together to fulfill
I feel, as though, O......... my heart is slicing

Knot your relationships, I say, people 
Our life and hope is like a church steeple

Life indeed is a web i agree, good and bad knotted together, one must learn to be cautious as not everything that shimmers is gold! Beautiful take on this prompt and i love the way you’ve phrased your thoughts in such a creative manner! Profound! And very impressive! With so much depth! Pleasure reading this! Sending you light always
