Perfection

The beauty of the spider web Glistening in morning sun Exquisite scale of length and width Perfection for everyone Who taught the spider how to spin? How do they know where to go? Attaching threads to each other Designs from within they can sew Snuggling within their cradle Some people shy away But so great is the creation I hope they have come to stay Mornings I’ll check, seeing their home And had dinner the night before They see me watching, staying still Fascination I don’t ignore The winds caress the branch they’re on Swaying their sparkling thread Beckoning bugs to come and stay Their fate is what they dread One species feeding another The balance is undisturbed Coordination of give and take Mysterious nature’s ways preserve
