Weave in Peace
author's note:
And now for something a bit shorter...
WEAVE IN PEACE
Moonlight whitens a spider dangling
down on an unseen string--
down from a limb of shadow leaves.
This suspension holds me in suspense
yet the spider seems quite at ease:
the spider knows its strength
thus, it weaves in peace...
on the other hand, humans
are still learning
so we doubt as we dangle...
maybe someday
we'll realize the truth
of our strength
and thereafter
weave in peace.
