A Poem a Day (418): Language woven

 
 
Language woven
 
Silk-thread gossamer,
fishnet webbing, a pattern
in play; pure language
unspoken but sketched
out in woven chords.
The artist sits alone
in a corner, full-dusted,
surveying his domain.
He knits lines, threads
flowing, the whole unseen
until the very last piece
connects. Dew catches;
diamond glints suspended
drip life into our hands.
Night sets it all glittering;
fine stars in our backyard,
flicker in moonlight’s eyes,
adrift upon the wind.
