Stained glass has always been fascinating.
The intricate details patched together
To make something even more breathtaking,
Used in chapels to depict scenes of the Gods.
The array of colors shining down on each head
As everyone is blessed with a personal halo.
I’ve not been favored with the art of creation -
I can hardly even draw a straight line.
So, this craft seemed above me.
Something far out of my lacking grasp
That I’ll always appreciate but never take part in.
For a while I thought, 'I’ll stick to what I know.'
And as my monotonous routine continued,
I found myself longing to learn -
Reading books on soldering and cutting
And finding gorgeous patterns to try.
Finally, I researched the proper tools,
Found reputable brands to buy.
My mouse hovered over the final button,
Hesitating before the big purchase,
Before taking that final jump into novelty.
And I repeat to myself, every day,
~
“The world is your oyster
Don’t be afraid to up and pit it
It’s always been your life –
So don’t forget you can live it.”
