WEB

Glistening

Shining

Stretched from porch to tree.

Dewdrops

Clinging

See the web’s beauty.

Sunlight glimmers on the dewdrops that cling to the spider’s web.

Like rare jewels, they shimmer and shine until the sun takes them away.

Though it blocks my way, I’ll go around.

The silken beauty beckons her prey, so that she may eat.

What a shame that such intricate work must be destroyed in order to do what it was meant for!

But, until that moment,

I’ll sit and watch as dewdrop diamonds dance on the lacey curtain that only one of nature’s creatures could weave so well.
