She Spins Alone

Alas.....
 our little spider spins ,
her web alone....
    without her friends.
She catches flying thoughts 
     and words 
like silver apples
     seen and heard.
She labors long into the night
to weave her way out of her plight
tiny dewdrops ......
          .(are they tears?),
cling along  her hopes and fears
      lines on lines
criss cross and then,
she wakes to just begin again.
Perhaps I'll find a lady bug 
        to stop 
and give our friend a hug.
Unless the urge is just to much..............
in which case that will be 
            her lunch.
