Poetry: ~A Spider’s Web~

A Spider"s Web
A Spider”s Web

droplets of water 

graces a spider’s web

forming illusions of reflection

tell me, what you see

☼☾☆

when you gaze into these drops

dreaming from the heart

are they borrowed or yours

tell me, sincerely

☼☾☆ 

 when the glow softens, at the end of this day

and twilight dims the light

reflections turn inward

tell me, what transpires

☼☾☆

droplets of water 

gracing a spider’s web

now forming reflections of reality

tell me, what you believe

☼☾☆ 

reflections, of the heart

must always find their way

becoming reflections in the mind

so they can emerge again, tell me

I captured this spider’s web on September 5, 2013, as I walked around a nature park in the Big Thompson Canyon. The spider build it’s web up against a big boulder and was almost hidden among some foliage. I took the shot looking straight down.

In early spring, of this year, we were returning home from our winter trip and we stopped at Balmorhea State Park for a couple of days. This state park is located in Balmorhea, Texas.

This little pond, in the state park, provided the perfect feeding area for these American Coots. The sun was setting, turning the pond’s surface to a beautiful “fire” color.
