Receive This Glass

by Paul Stankard

Receive this glass
it holds my memories
crafted blossoms
suspended
in stillness
to be pollinated
by your sight
anticipating
your touch through time.

As I matured, I realized that a paperweight could be a work of art as extraordinary as anything else, and it was my job to make it that.
