weaving Smoke rings and Silver strings.

By Dei



Have you ever sat out side,
Blowing smoke rings around the moon?


Out of the corner of your eye
Something glimmers.
Silver strings weave together,
Making patterns
A spiders finger print on the world.

A death trap
Made of necessity.

Have you ever blown smoke into it?
Staring with amazement as it stops
Mid-air billowing around silver death
Before pressing through the holes
And melting away into the darkness?

I have.
And it was beautiful.

    this was a slow easy mind waltz of thought and images... delicate and intense at the same time... and yes it's beautiful how that happens...
