The Web of Life
She opens her gallery in morning bright light early
Displays God Art.
First fruits offered in obedient love.
Weaving with legs strong graceful
Navigating strength,symmetry
Strong small presence, centered
Delicate lovely home made art.
Like a prayer labyrinth she walks alone, in her, on her,
Home made strong, receptacle of nourishment
Quiet delicate web net of protection.
Quiet masterpiece holds fast in love
Holds strong in love.
And in woven winsome beauty, she makes her way through,like a maze.
She waits, heartbeat holding watch.
Glimmering gleaming hopefilled web
Offering order in chaos,
Perfectly alligned with His will for her.
Perfectly imperfect, seeking Grace
She hangs in the net web,
Soul centered place of still waiting waving in the gentle spirit breeze,
Peace-filled knowing
Anchored here, anchored there.
No fear takes space, finds a space in the perfect web of peace.
No angry broom will knock down, rip down, tear down.
Grace for her, grace for all.
She and her God art catching the morning light.
Masterfully weaving this artful way through the life web.
Tied in obedience to the One who teaches art of making the way
through a beautiful web maze, the story
that is her sparkling sticky, glistening fragile, light-catching, light-relfecting,
Hidden to some,
Yet visible to the lover of Beauty, God Art
A Hopeful, graceful web.
Catching nourishment for the soul.
