Cobweb

Something shorter. Hopefully. Definitely new.

In the back of my pantry
there is a lone cobweb.
No spider for months now.
I've been checking every morning.
The web is a simple thing,
no masterpiece, but it caught
my eye from how sunlight dances
on dusty strings to reflect gold,
crimson, and sapphire. A celebration
of meeting another day? Despite
losing its silken luster? Bathed
in sunrise renewal, I pondered,
if a cobweb could hold light
within, after being abandoned
and forgotten by its second half
then maybe I can as well.
