My Crystal Prism

 

A crystal prism hangs

                Above my lantern.

Those who take the time

                To look close

Know the beauty

                That is shared inside.

 

The colors are as intense

                And brilliant as any

I have ever seen.

                Strange, for on the outside

It appears only cold and pristine.

 

But to look inside,

There's a world

That expands the eye.

 

Should I wait

                For the sun's rays

To diffuse its beauty

                Randomly?

 

Or, should I come close

And look within?
