The world in those early days consists of glass and white, and the silver grass comes to life in the morning light. [1]
The sun comes up a sleepy, frozen red,
The trees are all shaking in bed.
The ground is crisp and crunches at your feet,
And every little puddle is a sheet
Of shining ice, so delicate and clear,
Here, a quiet morning in winter establishes itself. [1, 2]
Your breath blows out like smoke into the air,
Frost that is cold and sharp can be found everywhere.
The rooftops glisten in the pale blue sky,
Little robins are rushing by.
So step outside and see the diamond ground,
The sun will melt all the crystal sounds. [1, 2]
In the morning when it was frosty the spider web which had been hidden became white lace and crystal glass.
The Frosted Loom
The night is still, the air is cold,
A fragile net of silk is spun,
Before the early dawn can hold
The winter sun rising.
White frost arrives upon the breeze,
And paints the threads with glassy ice,
It hangs between the sleeping trees,
A quiet, silver, cold device.
No gem is brighter in the light,
Than every line of frozen dew,
A web of magic made at night,
This shines for all the world to see.
There’s a great feeling in realising that all you need in order to achieve your dreams is already within yourself; the spider does not have within the housefly all that it needs to make a cobweb. Turn your attention to yourself and you’ll find that you have the ability to weave your own success! The way you look at things will decide if you see a spiderweb as something deadly or as something beautiful.
Esoteric and Philosophical Symbolism
In a more mystical sense the spider web stands as a symbol of destiny, karmic connections and the notion that all the events in life are interwoven; it may also signify obstacles and the challenges one has surmounted, which makes it a highly personal and significant choice for a tattoo.
