Sara Kendrick Poet I do not know?

Blowing Glass

As I watched the glass blower
Skillfully work his ware
First there was nothing
Then just a little something

Appeared.. in thin air
At first there was no beauty
Just a little blob
What skill this person possessed

Because appeared a clear glob
Then as he worked it
A form, a shape began to appear
I began to see beauty

Where non was..last year
As time passed, changes
He did make, the globe
Now amber began to take its shape

Years have passed, see
That amber bowl
Yes, that item of beauty
For the eyes to behold

Scarlett Sepulvado Anderson January 9, 2010 at 6:57 AM This is a beautiful poem. Thank you for commenting on If I Held A Candle. I'm new to poetry soup but I have posted more if you would like to read them. I really like reading your poetry. Much thanks and good wishes.

Elaine George January 9, 2010 at 5:30 AM I have watched this remarkable artistry unfold before my eyes also. Unforgettable experience that you have captured in this lovely poem. Thank you for sharing Sara. Love, Lainie

P Sheart January 8, 2010 at 4:09 PM Hi Sara, How I love to watch an artist at work! You have the amber bowl and the enduring memory of it's birth and the energy of the maker's spirit within the bowl. Lucky you! Indians believe that their spirit actually enters into what they make. This gives special meaning to the one who recieves the gift. Beautifully written. Love Light Patty

Mary Meade Stephenson January 8, 2010 at 2:29 PM This reminds me of my old neighbor who was a glass blower. She was an artist beyond compare and I used to sit and watch her for hours. Excellent imagery. Thanks so much for sharing and for taking the time to read my writes. Many thanks too for your always kind comments. All is appreciated! Have a wonderfully blessed day~Mary

Andrea Dietrich January 8, 2010 at 9:43 AM what a nice picture, Sara, of this ancient art form. I enjoyed it. By the way, someone just informed me I should not post to blogs. I am waiting to hear from Brian, but I feel concerned now because I really liked reading them and then replying. Did I do a no no?? Thanks for your help. Andrea

Audrey Haick January 8, 2010 at 9:37 AM A beautiful write about a beautiful art! Beautiful! Thanks for your kind comments. Peace, Audrey

John Freeman January 8, 2010 at 9:04 AM Sara, This is awesome! The first thing I thought of was the blob of clay that we were first, before God(Love) blew the breath of life in to us. Then we became a living Soul. I like this poem's parallel meaning. The soul of God's love is the most precious and beautiful thing. Thats Us Sara. We have that potential. Sincerely, Love, Moses
