Chihuli

Any Subject - Octtava Rima - Dedicated to the artistry of glass artist, Dale Chihuli *********************************************************** Chihuli Spells of flames, winter moons, blue sunshine, sunsets ~ Glass stained by whispers in bubbles of rainbows Sleeps, captive of creativity’s minx possessed ~ Trapped magic quivers, enchantment to bestow ~ Beauty waits to paint kaleidoscope’s pallette In hues and shapes borrowed from day’s bright meadow Desert winds gather in whorls - windstars descend Through the flutters of fiery flames sand transcends Breath of moonbeams refracted into twisting swirls Light trapped in luminescent channels, dead-ends, A kiss of fire shapes hot glass in molten curls Through embers of wanton fireflies shape descends Globes emerge from red coals with cascades of pearls Fire dance spins smelted crystal into legends Beauty blown from the ageless artist’ breath seeds Radiance for glass gardens - fantasy freed.
