Spiders

Inside our loving cradles
And peace within our heads,
We never wake to realize
This cradle's a spider web.

Trapped within its boundaries
A thousand cries we scream,
We never wake to realize
That life is but a dream.

Falling prey to all that seek us
And fearing what is dead,
We never wake to realize
There are spiders in our heads......
