"Blue Willow"
Porcelain China, at its best
Is Mysterious in its Images
Ponderous and magnificent
Like a mystery on a flat surface
Cold To the touch
Hard as Glass
The closest anyone will ever get
to walking over the Blue Willow Bridge,
Or Eating The Trees' Ripe, Sweet Fruits
Or Taking in Warmth at a fireplace in the Temple
We can never get quite into that otherwoldliness
But Oh, How Deeply, How Sweetly,
It Inspires Us To Dream!
In JEsus' Name,
Amen
