Spider Web Illusions

Shadows of perfect symmetry
Enhancing dark abandoned corners
As you create a delicate sanctuary
With interwoven strands of beauty
An artist without recognition

On a tightrope of unrestrained silk
You spin a web of gossamer curtains
In the depths of quiet contemplation
Where the solitude of silence is echoed
In the stillness of the night

Crystal droplets held in endless spirals
Reflect a myriad of translucent colours
Trapping spirits between the threads
As you weave the reality of their fate
In a delicate prison of no escape

A masterpiece of nature’s wisdom
Held by the strength of silken strands
Like poetry spun with tireless whispers
Creating a dreamcatcher of lost souls
Playing to an orchestra of silent notes

Seasons conspire to tame your web
Within a storm of intense jealousy
A single strand flutters in the breeze
In honour of another tangled fortress
Recreated in the tapestry of your life
