.The glass tears

The wheel whirred a smooth sound filled the room

Like the kiss of a promise

Of what was to come

Glass and steel embrace  become as one

The master craftsman at work creation

steady and sure

Glass tears cascade like a gentle waterfall in spring

Before  the glassmakers tool

The room fell silent in awe

The assembled  womenfolk and their men

Transfixed in time not of their own

Sean ,tuned to the song of the steel

sires the iniinate sand

The rose its beauty and its thorns  given birth beneath his skilful touch

Ancient history

reborn

Transformed

As glass resembles symbolic Celtic times

The claddagh like an  ethereal creature  takes form

a groom emerging to claim his beloved bride

The s sense of ancient wedding vows emerging from  the mist of time.

Pervade the room

Like the kiss of a prince  awaking

The air is filled with a sense of love of bygone times

ancient  Celtic life  is personified

Pure as ancient stories recounted by fires light

Passed down from father to son

The silent watchers are mesmerised

Tuned into the rhythmic movement of master craftsman and the hum of steel

Eyes roved on the reactor.s hands

Glass tears like silver crystals

Thee watchers sense could fatho the revelation of that was forming

A sense of uplifting fills the room

Tuned to the rhythm of the sound of the wheel as it

Worked in tandem with the artist touch

Creation is complete
