Wheels







Hannah over in the Garden, gave us a prompt today that aligned real well, with a Tarot card reading I had the other day.   I did get the Wheel of Fortune card-time to take a risk, I was told~

I thought it would be fun to combine the two-the card's meaning and the Wheel Spider!
How clever this stunning creature is!  





Fallen star
spirals in gold dust
tumbleweed fashion
eight spokes curled
into cosmic expression
spins faster n' faster
and
snowballs into
Cirque de Soleil

    Wow... such vivid imagery in such few words... It's all gold and silk and delicacy, even though you're talking about a spider... lovely!

    a lot of fun, it also reminds me of the Saharan plant called the resurrection plant.
