The Spider’s Muse

Charlotte always visited
the tulips for inspiration
before she began spinning.

inspired by moss
a touch of green
kindles in last year’s grass

color and light
rushing in
pushing out the darkness

aster’s blooms
each individualized
inspiration to snowflakes

mushroomed and mossed
the forrest’s
confection of perfection

inspired by the field
hardwoods commence their leafing
as the landscape sighs in green

amidst bare branches
last year’s crabapples
inspiration for spring blooms

Dreams in the shadows
allow visions in the light.

Four feet
find their way
by instinct and inspiration.
