Dance of Lights

Sitting on an open window
Framed by Tattered Victorian Lace
A Vessel of swirling hues
Prisms of light, reflections of Grace

Softly now the breezes
Cause the lace to twirl
Sending color from the chalice
And beauty to the world

How graceful the motion
Swirls and twirls of chance
Life and love
Death and sadness
Equal in the dance
