I sat drinking on my front porch
Enjoying the end of the day.
It sat beneath my sun umbrella.
Inside the umbrella was a spider’s cocoon.
I sat and thought what a great place for a spider to stay.
Flying bugs ran rampant under there.
Enough to feed a large brood of baby spiders.
I sat there as the cocoon began to open.
As it did tiny little white spiders came out from under the umbrella.
There was no fear or disgust.
There was the pure pleasure of watching new lives begin.
They whirled around me as a light summer breeze blew.
I watched them for a very long time as they floated away on gossamer strands.
It made me remember how beautiful nature really is.
