Attached between the branches
of an artist’s chosen trees
a masterpiece of nature
quivers gently in the breeze.
Caressed by gentle rainfall
it holds fast within its stays,
the sun creating diamonds
as the lacework lightly sways.

But looks can be deceptive,
our perception can be wrong.
This filigree’s not fragile,
but miraculously strong
and made with no attention
to emotions humans feel.
This work’s a mere contraption
made to catch a tasty meal.
