Mysterious vase of midnight blue, it intrigues
Pristine whitecaps gather around in a blotchy pattern
An odd shape for a vase...
a vertical sea-storm of rolling waves
In and out, it ebbs and flows
Strangely, it disturbs and mesmerizes
This rollicking twister with it's liquid heart
It gives the strong impression of wild thrashing movement
even as it is eerily still
So dark and deeply profound is the coloring
Yet, as light plays across the softly rounded curves
it shimmers with a shallow, translucent vitality
What a curious object this vase is...
this watery cyclone spirit encased in glass.

And do you also collect paperweights...I would think you do, judging from this...there is something so strange about glass...mercurial and magical...

ah yes, this one likes me....
