Poem: In memoriam - The University Post

A moment ceases to be, and the spider
Has spun its web.
It has found an ending in its thread,
When the storm left it forsaken .

Once it moved to the rhythm of the wind,
And with its body, connected the leaves;
It caught the fiends that are unseen.
Feeding the mouths of spring.

An immortal repetition of patterns
Were written in its trap
Untangling the hidden secrets
Of its properties within.

Editorial: Thank you readers, contributors and friends!

Breeching the unknown path ahead
It framed, the intangible horizon.
Making the next careful step feel
a little lighter.

The assimilation has begun
Turning the web’s complexity –
Into one.
What used to be a display of change
Has lost its reflection.

Læs mere:

Farewell, adieu, au revoir – to the University Post

Now tangled in mud and branches
Feet trample – with no notice
As if it never was –
Never held a heavy burden.

The birds between the earth and sky
Flew long and wide to spread
The story of the spider web
That has broken its long spun tale.
