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.

Dear Sam, Your outstanding verse delves into the transformational power of creativity and art, comparing the process of glass-making to the act of creation itself. It depicts beauty as a life force from chaos and raw actions, implying that art is a mythical image of the natural world. I wish you and your family all the best in 2025, giving you positive energy and loving hugs.

Dear friend, I am so honored by your insightful evaluation and feedback on this poem! Thank you! Indeed, the artistic endeavor of creating beauty through glass is like the very act of transformational creation! Dale Chihuli's artistry in glass is surreal. Just saw a repeat of a special in him. It inspired this poem. It is an honor to bring his work to the attention of more people, and a joy! Additionally he is a fellow northwesterner! Its the rain I think! Sending wishes of happiness and health to you and your family for 2025, dear Lasaad! Blessings!
