After yesterday's misadventure, I decided to share something upbeat. This poem, "Fire Art", was inspired by the awesome work of Dale Chihuly. I was first introduced to Chihuly in 2002 when he exhibited his art at the Garfield Park Conservatory in Chicago. After seeing it with my husband, I was so taken by the beauty of his pieces that I then took family members who were visiting from the Czech Republic to see it. That was not enough and I persuaded someone I worked with to come so I could experience the joy a third time. In 2011, while visiting my son & his family in Seattle, I persuaded them to take me to the museum so I could revel in his magical world of glass once again.

Glowing colors in
Free flowing glass
Emanate strength
Fragility
Asymmetrical
Architecture
Large images
Strange unique grace
Insightful designs
Delightful art
My heart – my soul
Engage in awe
