glistening first light

unveiled spider’s startling leap

waving in the wind

between cactus spikes

the shimmer of silken threads

defiantly glisten

touch tenacity

silk thread stretched from

branch to earth bent by breeze but

grounded at both ends

the sun shimmers up

and down this thin golden thread

swaying with the wind

to glisten:

to be present with others

in ways that help them shine into their deepest color, purpose and wisdom

to stretch the mind until one can listen

with a soft heart
