My Crystal Prism

 

A crystal prism hangs suspended,

                Facets resplendent,

As it swings above my lantern

                To some nocturne,

Spilling its rainbow colored arms

                And optical charms

Onto furniture and carpet,

                A nice vignette.

 

The outside looks cold and pristine,

                This crystalline,

 

The outside of this wondrous crystalline

                Looks cold and pristine,

But come close and look within
