Cobweb

life held in the web of all...

mingled within infinite dust

once moving flesh and form

caught as strains of existence

motes abiding upon calm earth

move slight breath in corners

cobwebs tell a story sublime

of where we go and not

woven into solid fabric

that of eternity itself

found in spirits mind

never gone...

I have always thought of cobwebs as somber things, full of the dust to which we shall return. Your take, however, seems to be a more positive one, wherein the web is a thing that transcends material life. Very well thought out and thought provoking work.

Thanks for your comments John... I do see all as a part of the creative process

A cobweb filled with dust and an empty husk formerly known by the ex girlfriend as "KILL IT KILL IT KILL IT".... even spirits don't exist unless there are eyes and minds to see them. I enjoyed this piece and will come back to read again... also intend reading more of what, at first perception, is highly resolved, concise, balanced art.

Thank you for your enjoyable review alan peter. I'm supposing it is the unseen spider in the web the ex girlfriend wants to kill...

sometimes i see cobwebs as the ghosts' moat...we usually shy away from those corners of life where they exist...

Very clever write, I like the move slight breath in corners line:) The double meanings in your poem are fun I'm not gonna say a word about them i don't want to be a spoiler :)
