THE ARCHITECT OF TIME

Yesterday morning I went into the back yard and right away I spotted a huge spider web.  It had to be close to 3' by 3'.  Now I am certainly no bug lover, but I do appreciate the artistry of a spider web.  I ran and got my camera to snap a shot of it.  I was kind of hoping there was a spider in it to zoom in on, but no such luck.  The lighting was a tad bright and the web was swaying a little in the gentle breeze.  I did manage to get this pic though.  I was hoping to go back later to see if spidy came back and to see if the lighting was any better.  Sadly, when I returned several hours later, the web was gone; like it had never been there at all.  All that hard work...poof!  I asked my good friend Tom, a writer, to capture this picture and event in prose.  I hope you enjoy his poem as much as I did, and if you are a fan of reading and writing, please visit his blog, TOM'S WRITING CORNER, tjvbutch.blogspot.com


THE ARCHITECT OF TIME

BY THOMAS VENTRELLI
                                                 
A SPIDER SPINS ITS WEB
SO INTRICATE AND FINE
WEAVING IN AND OUT
AN ARCHITECT OF TIME
IT IS WITH GREAT ENDEAVOR
THIS TINY THING CREATES
A SYMPHONY OF GEOMETRY
NATURE'S STATE OF GRACE
BUT WITH THE WINDS OF CHANGE
THE WORK FOREVER GONE
NATURE'S LITTLE ARCHITECT
BEGINS ANOTHER DAWN
TO WEAVE AND SPIN ANOTHER DAY
A BEAUTIFUL DESIGN
OH WHAT FRAILTY OF ITS WORLD
THE ENDLESS ARCHITECT OF TIME.

Thank you Tom!

    Lynn your pictures are so inspiring, it is so easy to write when the subject matter is brilliant. When I saw that web picture, it grabbed me like a caught fly and wouldn't let me go. Now I know what it's like to feel a photograph. Thank you!

    Great photo, and poem. The spider needs to focus a bit more though.

    Thanks Tom. Your poem really made it. You are able to articulate an incomplete thought in my head that I cannot even begin to speak.

    Thanks Steve...maybe he got tired. You had the see the size of that thing!
