Mysteries A spider’s web in dewdrop’s quiver Draws my eye to watch the sight As sunlight hits the prism mesh Intriguing pupils to delight A maze of wonder, gift of beauty A sparkling canopy of lace A silken web spun to perfection Of spider’s own inherent grace Who has taught her how to weave A veil to catch the morning dew? I would write poetic verses Of this mystery, if I knew Warblings of a creature stirs me Days of stifling scorch and haze From out the earthly crypt he crawls And climbs a tree in August days Donning light and fragile shell Camouflaged against the bark It knows the hour of its rebirth Appearing from its place of dark How does locust know his moment To emerge through morning dew? I would write poetic verses Of this mystery, if I knew You and I in love’s dimension Discovering our time and space There is a true exquisite moment When two souls are in embrace How do lovers know when love Has reaped the scent of morning mist? If I knew that splendid moment I would write a poem like this Elizabeth Santos [This message has been edited by Elizabeth Santos (edited 09-03-2000).] |
