Spider, Web, Sun and Light

As the morning light came through a crack in the curtains, it illuminated the fine thread of the spider’s web. A spider, not wanting to be conspicuous, remained in the shadow of the curtain – ready to devour any unsuspecting fly caught in its web. All that was caught in the web at that moment in time was light – web, light. Separately translucent, in tandem – a wondrous prism. Who would think that light from the sun, an entity just as carnivorous as a hungry spider, consuming all that gets too close; could produce anything as miraculous as a prismatic spectra of colour - when caught in a web. What could compare but the spider’s web itself? Light envelops everything that’s caught it its rays, just as the spider envelops everything that’s caught in its web.
