Tranquility

Posted byPhillip Knight ScottPosted inPoemsTags:, , , ,

The spider’s web hosts
today’s seclusion,
hidden from the finders, keeper
of tranquility’s repose.

Silky isolation wraps the introvert
in a sticky embrace –
mistaken for warmth –
providing solitude to dream or just
sleep.

His thoughts fade,
calm and still,
and the spider goes
unnoticed.

Written for the following prompts:

– Word of the Day Challenge : “welcome“
– Putting My Feet in the Dirt : “finders keepers“
– Ragtag Daily Prompt : “web“
That’s a lot to squeeze into 44 words.
