Fair to middlin' of nowhere

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

Wow, Lori.  What a profound and insightful little piece.  Very clever.  Much enjoyed. Thank you so much.

Ida-I'm glad you liked it and I am humbled by your use of the word talented. I'm still getting used to thinking of myself as a writer.

What a profound poem--a new way of thinking about holiness as being God in us.  Forgive me for paraphrasing my understanding of what you said so beautifully...
