The risen sun invisible Covered by clouds of gray A spider web made visible By wet particles this day Its delicate intricate shape Coated by tiny drops Flowing on variable breeze Like summer's rotation crops First the droplets of fog flow east Then they flow from the west Then they fall downward to the ground Or upon the porch's guest Then the spider web gently flutters Like a flag upon a pole Stretched taunt to a near breaking point Seemingly filled with holes Breezes in opposing ripples Push the web to the brink Upon those breezes light moisture Caught, the web doesn't sink A human touches the web and sticks Pulls away, the web folds Waterdroplets lined up like beads Upon a necklace of gold__ God's design is perfect unflawed Mankind can choose his part Which way will his choices lead Will man use head or heart The poem could stand with leaving the last stanza off but I am leaving it even if it means disqualification..Three lines too many..

Gods design is poetry in motion. I'll just sat the picture you chose to go with it gave the words meaning.

Jack, It did time some time observing a spider's web in fog so low that the rain within the low cloud was blowing upon me..Your presence wasn't foggy though..Thanks for dropping by..Sara
