dew bejeweled
a spider’s
glittering tapestry
Apotropaic Magic
morning reveals
the old tree’s protection
of dreamcatchers
The Half Spider Web Said
how we live
is
who we are
Sewn
the spider’s thread
with tensile strength of steel
stitches dawn to day
Veil
spider spins
a spiritual veil
between heaven and earth
Thread
an icicle pendulum
suspended by a spider’s thread
metronome of sun and clouds
Shroud
iris is cloaked
in the spider’s shroud
to be seen again
on their spring resurrection
Repair
zigzag
is the stitch
that repairs the spider’s web
Delicate Tenacity
spun of dreams
the web weaves
night to day
Rain Drops
The geranium wears
spider web lace
with rain drop diamonds.
Hearts
Tender hearts bear their leafy souls
to the sun and the weather of the day
as the wind chime cheers them on
and a spider’s web holds them up.
