    flower‚ moth and spider is just an incredible coincidence. White in this poem could be a symbol of purity or innocence. In the life process‚ nature just happens; making it pure and neutral. This situation makes the reader wonder how three very unusually colored beings are all interacting in the same place at the same time.
