Through the Glass

Through the glass he stood
Her palm graced high a necklace exquisite
To adorn someone in the flowered land
I watched this other cosmos.

Her hand draped yet another gemstone
His hand fashioned approval
And I – on the other side of the glass
Marked the torched flames reaching to the sky,

And wondered about the exquisite piece
And the gentle call of its peace
Knowing they were
On the other side of the glass.

This could be read different ways--I see peace and beauty on one side of the glass, disturbing images on the other.
Lovely writing, thanks for sharing this.

Loved the last two lines of the ending:

"Knowing they were
On the other side of the glass."

A very nice piece.

I used to work in a gallery where very exquisite jewelry was sold. Time and time again, couples would come in and spend hours trying on certain pieces. The scene unfolding here as you watched them through the glass brought to mind my own thoughts, as both reflected those same marked torches reaching to the sky!
Very well done!
Love and Peace~

Riveting and definately conjures up ideas and images that tantalize the brain as one thinks of that glass.
