Cracked and framed

Cracked and framed,
molded and stained,
welded into a glistening shade- the frame and the glass.

Your age is the beauty of time,
the souls mosaic of tile.

Your artist was a scientist,
and you an inspiring collage.
To give you mirrored harmony of bright future days.
The reflections glide to the sound of bells,chimes, and sage.

Romance the visions of yesterdays,
you are the color and hues.
If they suggest you paint with reds,
insist on using your blues.

The patchwork soil of shaped hills,
and mile long tapestries of skies.
The sunrise shines right through,
the iridescent deep-down glow of you."
