The spiders that knew God

Can people even keep a secret?
You wonder that the Spider people areĀ 

Heaven-sent?Ā 

Ā 

You see them, crawling the corners,

Tiny mediaeval things.

Past throwers, throwing up yourĀ 

Ā 

Domesticity like confetti and celebratingĀ 

Loudly your distinct differences.

Thay are hardly natives, so pouringĀ 

Ā 

From heaven like they'd want you to believe.

They want you to believe,

But they are just spiders.

There's more to this than meets the eye, I've read it many times, spiders are elegant and clean and hard workers, as long as they aren't dangerous as I know amongst some species you have the black widow.Ā 
A most intriguing write dear Rory. Your last lines gave me goosebumps. 🌹 šŸ•·ļøĀ

A reply to Marion's line, something like The spider's that knew God. I didn't think this and said so. She agreed. Thanks for read, SH

Perhaps why they are so hated. The one species oblivious to our make believe. The one species who remind us we are only ever one brick away from crawling the corners too. As for heaven... isn't it just a piece of sky? Nice one x

Is it just a piece of sky?
It is where God resides.
