Empty Nest

Size: 5"diameter

Materials: porcelain and glaze, fired on font

Poem:

And when I thought my heart would break
You finally announced yourself
Breaking me open, amazing me

I gathered twigs, grasses, and flowers
Set just so, to make you a home
I tried and tried to give you my sweetest song.

You are dazzling in the sunlight
Your iridescence is magic
It is all beauty, sadness, and hope.

You transformed and illuminated my everything All for you two ( and me)

And when I though my heart would break
With all the danger and delight
You flew, you flew

I am breathless,
Re-orientating and remembering
To Sing.
