Fractal Webs
“This most beautiful system of the sun, planets and comets, could only proceed from the counsel and dominion of an intelligent and powerful Being.” – Isaac Newton, The Principia: Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy
Spider webs
Engage in precise
Fractal mathematics spun
Perfectly
By instinctive
Arachnid skill, implanted
Hidden wonders hung,
Tied between
Unsuspecting branches,
Particular self-similar repetitions
Iterated, innate stories told in
Increasing
Small
Or larger scales,
Mathematical formulas
Creating infinite artform equations,
Snowflakes, clouds, far galaxies,
Shells, ferns & hurricanes, webs
Selecting algorithm rules,
Calculating infinite detail,
Magnified without limit
In micro or macro expression,
The Thumbprint of God,
His hidden wisdom revealed
In plain sight,
In long silver strands
Blown right onto
Our unwary
Faces.
