As windows on myriad worlds
etched with full spectrum of our thoughts
The fragile nature of the page
to be preserved 'gainst the onslaught

of age , and its' resultant haze
that dims clarity once possessed
The swirling tints of words imprint
as glaziers' tools to glass are pressed

At times transparency is sought
to glimpse clear through what lies obscure
but leaden is the hand and naught
but seams upon the work appear

Aside the mirrored images
reflected by glass pages whim
and what appeared a promised sight
grows murky as the prospects dim

Were not for what the glazier lacks
the piece would not show all the cracks

thought provocating, I must say, for I'm not the pen at hand, just the paper read. LP

indepth
loved the words, reminded me of marble and
what to call the computer,
glass  pages
thank you kindly for your words

Kindly,
