First Breath of Morning

 

Filaments of song

are strung along

the strands 

of spider silk.

Can you possibly imagine

the sound it creates

when the first breath of morning

plays its strings like a harp?

Music from the String Section

When the morning breeze
plays the spider silk
like a rainbow harp,

what notes are played
but not heard?

How many microns
of silvered filaments

are required for
this sacred music

to create what
only angels and saints
can hear?
