July 2016 - Toronto ON
I'm a big fan of Chihuly. Click here for some pieces I have seen in other cities.
Seattle is on my list to visit to see more of his work.
I attended the Chihuly exhibit last week at the ROM in Toronto. We were both blown away by the beauty of his work.
This took our breath away as we walked in.
GLASS - THOMSON SQUARE
"Glass"
Trying to live and love,
With a heart that can't be broken,
Is like trying to see the light with eyes that can't be opened.
Yeah, we both carry baggage,
We picked up on our way, so if you love me do it gently,
And I will do the same.
.
We may shine, we may shatter,
We may be picking up the pieces here on after,
We are fragile, we are human,
We are shaped by the light we let through us,
We break fast, cause we are glass.
Cause we are glass.

I'll let you look inside me, through the stains and through the cracks,
And in the darkness of this moment,
You see the good and bad.
But try not to judge me, 'cause we've walked down different paths,
But it brought us here together, so I won't take that back.

We might be oil and water, this could be a big mistake,
We might burn like gasoline and fire,
It's a chance we'll have to take.
