Stained Glass Window by The Vinery Glass Studio
stained glass gardens
humiliate real flowers
prismatic pieces
split rays of the sun
into factions of color
spears of morning who
penetrate petals
light bursting in blooms
upon patterns of
soldered seam joinery
lifting the life through
each intimate window
each mouth-blown
and delicate glazing
to place its artisanal
kisses on eyelids
who quiver awake
ever grateful for love
in the form of esthetic
affectionate gifts from
the generous capable
hands of a craftswoman
conqueror partner
whose heart captured
mine half a century
since and still now
more than ever her
tending and tenderness
making the all of my days
stained glass gardens
From my book Ephemera
