Black Widow Spider

Black Widow Spider

I’ve never been a fan of creepy crawlers.

They, may, leave you compromised.

I lay witness to one clung to my finger, and immediately sought removal.

I feared in doing so, it would certainly sting.

Left without choice, I approached with caution.

As, I attempted to remove this creature, its venom pierced my skin.

I struggled to lessen its grip, and eventually squash the threat.

While certain its poison would overcome me, and I too would meet with death-

a loud noise roused me from my sleep, and ended my distress.

          It symbolic translation is that of an open wound. It's healing nicely. No worries!

          Oh DEE you really had me scared there for a MINUTE ! Often when I have bad dreams i always wake in time before ~i am burned alive or ~ eaten by an ALLIGATOR ~ thank GOD ! All dreams have meaning and can be warnings for us not to sail too close to the WIND. Yours BRIAN
