Gossamer

Gossamer

spider lines

cast out

and catch

the morning ray

like silver strands

that stream

through a head of green

damp with dew

and the wind blows through

and through

from far

and away

a distant day

you know it not

for your jar is full

of light

and you keep it there

at night

right by your bed

where you sleep

and wake up

and you forget

your jar

is blown of glass

not welded of steel

and when it breaks

regardless of the care

will the light

within

continue …

to spin and spin
