Soul Food

Glass walls reach four floors high

As we start on the Way to Beauty

Through a history of ceramics

Passed the tools, - to the kitchen pots

Music and words through my headphones

Help me learn along this journey

About kilns, clays and glazes

Pass the Kiln of Dreams and ceramic loo

I step so comfortably into the world of these artist

Whose inspiration gives each piece its soul

Vases as tall as me- to children's art platters

Viewed beneath the glass table as we eat

To modern work - to industrial use

I learn as I enjoy

This feast for my soul
