I don't want to lean in too close
And test the strength of the spiders web
That after much time, energy and effort
Has turned into a work of art
Each new line the strengthening of bonds
Intricately constructed with care
Designed to catch every vital piece
That will benefit both spider and web
Making it easier to withstand the wind and rain
And glisten gloriously in the sunshine
To find the limitations for the sake of it
Would be the destruction of beauty
A grave misuse of power and trust
That will require tremendous effort and patience
To repair and rebuild to its former status
Beautiful metaphors, that all rest on your first line: "I don't want to lean in too close."
