Flashback

By Amitrajit Sarkar

A little spider gathers all the courage

Strive up and down weaving a maze of web

Only to entice a free soul

That never know death is one step away

Fly with its heart content

Claiming the entire world

Suddenly end up trapped in the silky thread

So enticing but with every move become tighten and tighten

All the colorful dreams of conquering the world suddenly

turn gray

But still hope flickers deep down

not ready to give up or give in

In a sudden flash back, everything appears crystal clear

Slide by slide page by page appears the events of life

The mistakes that could be avoided

The happiness that could be enjoyed

The life that could be lived

With a sudden thrust it set itself free from all the torments

As rainbow filled the sky without any sign of rain
