The Afterlife of Spiders

You shall wear eight wings in arachnid heaven
and your web will be made from celestial harp strings
attuned to the choir fantastic.
Starlight shall guide your mandibles,
aphids will be angels in attendance
as banquets of golden insects are brought
for your everlasting pleasure.
Spider saints weave holy webs
of tapestries and swaddling nests
for your forever rest.
Crystalline church bells be blessed
with the filligree of your spinning
and eight-legged symphonies be
sung for all time onward.
Let spun silk be gold and silver,
hung down in eternal sunbeams,
for the power of the one glorious
all knowing webmaster.

As a lifelong arachnophobe - I loved it. I totally accept and appreciate that spiders are beautiful and wondrous things. I just don't want them being either in my bedroom.
