Genesis

Son and partner,
Over lunch,
Gave me,
Japanese cup,
Created to order,
Nestling in hand,
Beautiful tactile feel,
Exquisite art,
Created from,
Elemental flames,
Wielded by,
Masters of,
Time-honed,
Honored skills.

Carefully wrapped,
My Precious and,
Just before placing,
Safely in bag,
Son’s partner,
Whispered,
“Remember light”.

Light

My crystal cup,
Hand blown and,
Careful cooling,
Created facets and,
Crystal swirls,
Guided by,
Crafter’s patient,
Skilled manipulations.
