If the Web is Strong

forest

If the web is strong
the storms that come
will do no damage to the land

The rain will slap
against the earth’s soft blanket
while underneath
the tiny bugs will thrive
in humid comfort

And wind will lash
the shaggy trees
and they will give, in grace,
And underneath,
for all the smaller living things,
they’ll hold the quiet

If the web is strong,
the energy
will pass from hand to hand
and be absorbed
and add its eager strength
into the earth.
