A Piece of Sky For Me

My heart leaps a bit at this sparkle of tears
Created by raindrops against her gossamer threads
An ordinary spider has created this beauty.
Thunderstorm madness takes nothing away.

I sigh at her beauty,
She holds a place for me 
We are true to our selves,
This dazzling wet web and I.

Out of the mist a mockingbird sings
Bursting with enthusiasm 
Somewhere in the corner of rain.
Neither of us move, both holding our ground.

A piece of sky for me
A sparkle for her
Uplifting each other away from the crowds
Reverent silence glistens and keens

I weep at the beauty
An ordinary spider web 
And yet…
Extraordinary in every way

I will never again be the same.
Entangled and entranced
By this beauty of an everyday thing.

Love this Caren. You have masterfully woven two totally disparate experiences, and creations, into a meeting after a storm. I can smell the air after a storm. We once had buggies in our cupboard brought in by a bag of flour. Suddenly a lone spider made a home in our pantry - buggies gone! Opening the cupboard, she would peek out at me.

I love spiders and their webs. They are such "she's".
