crackle glass vases shimmer
in peerings of sunlight, dancing
through transparent waves of glass

heated by trials to fracture
their outward exposure,
revealing inner frailties

changing the outer for changes within
hoping against hope’s hallucinations
yearning to be diff’rent

reading the rulebooks of life
unaware of the pressures ever mounting,
unable to see problems yet to come

fracturing the dreams of life’s glassy sea
into crackle-type vases that house the soul

I don't know what to say that doesn't sound like a platitude right now.

You moved me and your poetry often stirs some deep part within me .. maybe it's my soul that you move.

Whatever it is, I like it.

Depression glass, in all it's colorful charm, tells such delicate stories such as this.

Enjoyed your display.

Your anaolgy of crackle glass, my favorite type of vase, casts an interesting view. But the section that I quoted truly spoke to me.

A pleasure to read, enjoyed.

always seeking joy, adventure and romance and wishing you find the same

"crackle glass vases shimmer

That first line caused a softening of the eye, a smile to pull and an image in the mind.

I also really liked your reference to "hopes hallucination"
