Behold the Prism
That I am
Choose your color
In my vision
Do not be distracted
By rainbows
I have thrown
My light
Is only refracted
It is not
My own

Whoa!! LOVED this masterpiece of subterfuge.

A black cat ran in front of me tonight. I'm not worried. They don't bother Warlocks.

This is kind of sad. Like a prison within yourself. I hope it isn't real, and merely a poem , but it feels real and that is a tribute to your talent.

A prism is a good thing to be, Lori, it is pleasing to look at, a calming influence I have always found, and beside that they are beautiful. You fit all the requirements of the prism.
