Workshop 36

Web of Art

Look out your window past the field's very edge
Deep in the forest where the shadows gather
Hints of things yet formed are but knowledge
Only possibilities percolating like stormy weather

Take a walk into the woods to better seek understanding
Watch closely as Nature weaves a web of organized construct
Observe the determination in the birth of Life awakening
A constant struggle forward, a positive progress, not destruct

Take the industrious spider spinning her web, strangely inviting
Concentric beauty, jeweled in beads of dew, a deceptive trap of all
Nature's work of art, so easily torn and swept aside, it's weaving
Yet the spider begins anew to rebuild, patched the product of fall

Take these examples of an impassioned product to heart
Absorb the serenity and assurance that all is good and well
Know that the impossible is achieved from a simple start
Give in to your muse and take courage that your art will tell
