Gossamer threads lead

To the center of the web

There are emeralds there.

    Gossamer, what a great word! I’ve always thought spider webs were so beautiful especially with morning dew on them.

    Interesting! I’m not quite sure I get the meaning out of this one, but I do get a really good tangible feel. When I read the words, I feel like I can actually touch the threads.
