caught in the spider's web

Nicholas - not at ease but not moving,
unresolved issues put on hold.
Life locked into a welcome limbo
of almost silent companionship.
The bustling plans, the constant movement
in abeyance for just a while.
An empty space in a kaleidoscope of
changing company - a sanctioned opportunity
for no particular activity.
The clock ticks on, winding up or winding down,
heralding plans and people soon to approach.
concentric circles spinning ever closer.
You seem unaware or unwilling
to see how close they’ve come.
I stand and watch you caught in
briefly frozen time
And wonder how I became ensnared in
your magic net.
Nicholas - not at ease, but not moving……yet
