A Corner on the Wall

Slowly but meticulously, it was spinning its world on the corner of the wall keeping its presence as inconspicuous to the life form below it as much it could.
But one day it cannot hide anymore, for it has spun a world of silver around it and secured a corner for itself with the strength of its bond.
Then it happens, the most dreaded and the most eventual encounter with life.
The home it has built with so much care is an intrusion in some one else’s place.
With one stroke of a broom everything snaps off. The remains that refuse to let go off the wall remind of the world that existed at one time.
The corner of the wall is now clean for some and barren for some.

On the corner of the wall..slowly but meticulously, it starts again …

Just one Word : EXCELLENT

You confused me initially. Had to read it again. It so much of depth meaning.
I inferred that its a spider who tries to make its home by spinning a web in one space of the house. It ruins someone else's space by trying to make its own space there. The results are obvious.. Conflict.
And the most amazing part was the conclusion.. a never ending loop

hey tanks Sanjit..

Yup u inferred it right to one extent and there is one more aspect to it..

the Spider can be a person..u..me or anybody..here its me.. the web are my relationships..

Space as in space in relationships

the conflict is possesiveness..

rest u will understand..

U know what ... the whole thing is abstract... the beauty lies in that... U can have different meanings attached to it and justify the same.. but whatever said and done.. i appreciate the work..
