A Spiders Web

I watched a spider spin a web
The rhythm was a flow and ebb
And morning hung the web with dew
That made a magic of the view

It fluttered in the breeze a might
That struck illusion with the sight
A structured beauty in its flare
But who would think of danger there?

Each item is a prop on stage
You learn this with the sage of age
To see the meanings of each prop
Will tell you sure to go or stop

I beg you think about each stride
Even words can start a tide
And catch you in a rivers flow
Until you cannot stop the go

Judge each stage of life you see
And store it like a honeybee

....Saved so fast it'd make a spider spin!

I bow to you, dear Venerable One. This truly was a piece of poetic and sage poetry!

You spin magic with your words, Sir Sigh!

Well I popped in hoping to find something uplifting, and I certainly did. As a matter of fact, what I found here was doubly wonderful. A beautifully flowing poem from you  ... plus the perfect measure of positive, sound advice and wisdom. Very much enjoyed this Sy.

Best wishes and hugs,
/Kit

At least in Acts I and II?

Sy,The morning dew, a spider's web, and you. The webster, weaving words to ensnare and engage the minds, of those of us who follow you. Thank you for an excellent read, marty
