The Voice of Glass

In the heart of molten gold,
See a fantasy unfold.
Made of dreams and sweat and tears,
Harboring a hundred fears.
Will I live or will I die,
Sending ashes to the sky?

Jealous flames that wrap around
Make a hungry, hissing sound.
How they hate to let me go,
Envious of amber glow,
Tinged with rosy, blushing shade
As my glassy globe is made.

Out of fire now to cool,
Lucent light begins to pool.
Held within, but lumenent
And this unique message sent:
"Here I am, a glass creation,
Brought to perfect culmination.
Tap the pontil, set me free,
For I must meet my destiny!"


Betty Lou Hebert

Thank you everyone for reading and responding to this poem.  I wrote it after seeing one of Dale Chihuly's art glass exhibits.
