A rainbow of serrated globes, <br />Friends to the water lilies, <br />Floats in a sculptured pool. <br /> <br />A surreal yellow glass Medusa <br />Woven through a white crescent trellis <br />Gleams in the midday sun. <br /> <br />Choirs of chrysanthemums <br />Sing with multicolored flora <br />Blown from molten soda, lime and sand. <br /> <br />Sheltered in a geodesic tropics <br />Orange herons stand on legs of glass <br />Amid living palms, bamboo and wild orchids. <br />Towering blue spires <br />Lift skyward out of the soil <br />While butterflies dance <br />In the misty veil of a waterfall. <br /> <br />Nature and the shimmering world within <br />Happily converge in the florid vision <br />Of an effervescent man with a patched eye - <br />A man called Chihuly.<br /><br />Robert Charles Howard<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/garden-of-glass/
