This poem conveys an almost dreamlike sense of reality and illusion, as if we are always looking at the world through a pane of glass that could disappear at any moment. The image of the reflection, which could be a distraction, stayed with me - how often do we think we see ourselves clearly, only to realize we're looking at a distorted version? I loved the fragility and lightness of the ending, as if the morning brings a new perspective on everything. Just beautiful, Jane
And we look at the other side of life as “through a glass darkly” but someday we will see it “face to face” as Patton a sometimes poet once wrote extracting a biblical thought thousands of years old likely also from others. The World is both fragile and opaque.
When you get older the soft glaze is harder to see but you know it is there.
So true
It's such a special time of day. Well captured, Jane.
It is! Those quiet hours before the reality of the day sets in

Wonderful. It is a world of glass.
It can be. Our lives are fragile
