Flexible Strings

Two spiders spin their intricate webs
Beneath the glow of the silver moon
The delicate patterns is barely seen
Until vanilla light glides upon them

Silken strands away in the nocturnal breeze
A slight shift in their location
As they dance quietly with complete ease
For flexibility is their forte

They give valid reminders to life
Often if we bend with conscious grace
And softly sway with the wind of change
The more resilient in life we become

This lovely poem focuses on the beauty and intricacy of nature, as well as the lessons it can teach us about navigating life's challenges.

Enjoyed reading this short yet meaningful piece.
The setting is peaceful and serene, with the moonlight casting a soft glow on the scene which then offers a gentle reminder to embrace change and bend with grace, just as the spiders do in the night.

The idea came about as I was watching two spiders one on each side of my porch spin webs while the wind was blowing at night

[Amy R]

So natural, lovely to hear.

This gives beautiful meaning to the word Gossamer.

Thank for your very kind words Ken. I will be by to read again soon. Been a very busy week at work for me

This one is a reminder of what we can learn from nature. The change in the breeze does not faze the spiders; they just adjust for the new angles and keep weaving. You don't hear much about spiders experiencing nervous collapses.

[Poetic Beauty]

That is so true. Spiders keep on doing spider things regardless of rain and wind

Wow, awesome.
I just love spiders because they usually eat the flies.
I feel there is a deeper meaning to this piece...
That can be depicted by your final stanzas on this poem.
Sometimes we need to bend to withstand greater powers, just like those spiders resisting the wind.
A very good piece about the wonders of nature.
I enjoyed reading this poem.
Take good care, friend.

as spiders are resilient with spinning their webs, so are humans as they flow with the winds and waves of life, nature has its way of drifting with the sun, allowing nourishment to seep in...spiders dance in the creation of their home...very descriptive and soft PB

Dearest Beauty… I truly Hope that we bend with conscious Grace and softly change with the Wind of Change … to become more resilient in Life. Prayers and Kindness will be our Rising Star on the Horizon… gently, Pat

[Poetic Beauty]

I agree with you on that!!

[Patricia Wedel]

dear Beauty… our Web has become a Danger Zone… caught in Captivity in our own Home.
We fear for all we hold Dear. The Borders are invaded by Evil with an Invitation … the open Border must be Guarded and Protected. The Praying Mantis is our only Hope… Amen … Pat

[Poetic Beauty]

Thank you for your thoughts and for reading

[jacob erin-cilberto]

the more we learn how to bend, the more resilient we become.
Yes, such sound advice for safekeeping.

It’s something I’m working on myself. It’s not easy for a stubborn person like me lol

A spider web seems fragile until you're caught in one. I enjoyed this great write. F.

[Poetic Beauty]

They do seem fragile until you watch them or like you said get caught in one
