Crystal Goblet Fractured was the crystal sphere The prism glass of yesteryear Within a fine transparent dome I placed my heart and called it home I walked the path down glassy halls Within a bubble’s shining walls And laid my trust upon the hold Of gaffer’s hand to choose the mold So fragile were those youthful days Within a shell of polished glaze So innocent the crystal world That shattered when the truth unfurled A million pieces left to make A new formed cast with my mistake Enhanced with silica most fine And etched by hand of my design The light of life shines through the glass Reflecting rainbows in it’s cast Of all the past and present days And looks at you in crystal gaze Translucent chalice so unique And wrought with woman’s own mystique A goblet rare to touch the lip And warmly held with every sip Elizabeth Santos [This message has been edited by Elizabeth Santos (edited 12-22-2000).] |

Beautiful are your words. Life is like glass, if it cracks you can throw it away or do as you and see the beauty in hundreds of fine lines that tell a new story. MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR |

Lady Santos, you knew this would be one that I could see from far away, to come inside and say, I wish you the best for these holidays. You are in my thoughts, my friend. This is beautiful, and it shall grace my library with your brilliance. Karilea If I whisper, will you listen?... I would rather be silent and write, than speak loudly and be bound. KRJ |

Marvelous Elizabeth! The crystal world of you as a youth that shattered with the truth of time...but here you are here again with the crystal rebuilt and able to look out through with an entirely new but saged point of view. Simply wonderful writing as usual...have a nice holiday and realize that we're all thinking of you!! |
