Shining in sunlight
silver strands of silken string
such a simple piece
So enchanting too
That keeps me here in wonder
Trapped just like a fly
Dewdrops upon it
reflect morning's revere
silent and joyous
In the crisp clear air
Of a new day with new hope
Spun within this web
Ominous beauty
Enticing delicacy
Danger unseen lurks
Unsespecting fly
passerby, to be caught in
gossamer white strands
Linger not nor gaze
Avert....for sticky beauty
Claspt, ne'er releases
But ever holds you
A web of your own weaving
Spin you this yourself?
Gossamer deceits
Unwittingly thus weaving
Our own destruction......
Yet for all reason
one can't bear look away from
terrible beauty
Morning displayed
In awesome delicacy
Breathless, yet fearsome
And as day begins
the light of the sun reveals
nature in her bloom
Dew-spangled wonder's
Intricate simplicity,
Enchanted ponder.
