TRIUMPH OF SPIRIT IN LOVE, NATURE & ART

The World Wide Web

The light is changing

I am dreaming of

an approaching Fall

but Mum is the word

I am dreaming of

the once spring green

of a Sugar Maple

turning shades of orange and yellow

Of the earlier sunsets

of mid-October

the time of un-mown lawns

the time of year

when spiders rule

out in the open

covering the fields

with the spiders’ secret 

appearing only

in precious moments

a world of webs

that appear only

in a certain slant of sunlight

I have yet to capture

and they reveal a silent take-over

by the spiders

in webs that sparkle

secretly

silently

mirroring

the infinite web of creation.
