Woven in Stillness

 There it was—hanging delicately between the arching leaves of a palm, almost invisible until the morning light caught it just right. A spider’s web, glistening with dew, every thread woven with the kind of quiet care that only nature can afford. As the sun filtered through the trees, the web sparkled—each droplet like a tiny world reflecting the green around it.

What struck me first was the symmetry—fragile yet methodical, like the spider had mapped out a universe of its own while the world slept. I crouched silently, not wanting to disturb the sacred stillness of this moment. The spider, calm and unmoved, sat in the center of its creation like a quiet keeper of time.

This image meant more to me than just a beautiful scene. It reminded me of how creation often happens in silence—thread by thread, unseen and uncelebrated. And yet, when the light hits just right, all that work sings.

I felt wonder. I felt reverence. And I felt grateful—for stumbling upon this intricate poem written in silk and sunlight.
