Spiderthread <br /> <br /> <br />This cool early morning <br />when summer is remembering autumn <br /> <br />a spider hangs busy <br />off the end of a twig; <br /> <br />it has plans: a thread <br />stronger than steel, it’s said <br /> <br />which runs out and out, <br />back and back <br /> <br />beyond the horizon, <br />beyond the creation of the world <br /> <br />into the mind of God.<br /><br />Michael Shepherd<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/spiderthread/
