poem submitted to "All That Glass" poetry contest, Nette Onclaud, sponsor, 6/9/2026
The stained glass breaks the morning light, each shard a tale the sun rewrites; ruby deepens with reverent air~ within this colored prayer. Gold spills like vows the day once kept, soft warmth where shadow long has slept; green climbs toward grace suspended there~ within this colored prayer. Sapphire pools where lost dreams return, a quiet place where sorrows learn; its blues restore what hearts can bear~ within this colored prayer. I stand before its living flame, a mosaic stitched from hope and shame; it teaches how the broken fare~ within this colored prayer.
