Through a Tiffany Window

Touched by the whisper of a coral dawn,
Morning opens a casement portal
And steps into a garden –
A crystalline cathedral -
Where the alabaster breath of dawn
Enchants dusk
With rippled amber rhythms 
In between ascending yellows
Spoken as a love poem.

First light
Shapes daylight
Fragments of lavender
Perfume iris’ blooms
Roundels of golden petals
 Sing
With southern smiles
In magnolia blooms
Spoken as a tender sonnet in glass.

Serenity speaks in daybreak
Hushed murmurs
Of a trickling river,
Born in blue-grey mountains,
Silently slide 
Into azure waters
As opaque morning mists
Float 
Above sapphire stillness

Frosted grace 
Clothes hills 
In rounded curves of blues
And moss
Aurora’s triumph snug 
In lines of armature
The glazers journey 
Hones broken shards
Into beauty.
