The most resilient life forms in the world

Are among the smallest most fragile beings

They cast webs of gossamer fine particles

Again and again

Morning dew sparkles on a dream just spun

And I am reminded as I run

Spiders

Work tirelessly

Repeating

Repairing holes

Rewriting

Rewiring

And casting their creations forward

They greet each morning

With a new net

I have never seen one throw a tantrum

Sunk in the depths of despair

At a fresh tear

Instead

They weave until they die

Or die trying

Valiant little beast you put we humans to shame

So

I pick up my pen

And begin again

Writing
