Homage to the Spider's Art

It had strung its masterpiece across my path and barred my way not by force or by means I couldn't break, but by a fragile, spectral thread secured to a part of me it somehow knew would not destroy the beauty of its art, but would pause in reverence to view, say a prayer, then turn back to let it be.

ooo, I liked this poem Spider webs are beautiful and how mindful of you to appreciate its beauty and let it be. Not many would do so. Have a pleasant Sunday, Sara

Thankfully most of the spiders that cast webs between trees are not dangerous...the bighty ones inhabit ground cover and sheds. Hence my mercy....and of course love of art. Many thanks Sara...

Spider spun silk ~ too beautiful to destroy. I like that part of you, Paul.
