There’s a crystal in my window That reflects the morning sun It’s the prism of enchantment That makes worries come undone It’s a clear drop of contentment It’s a dangling bit of grace That shines iridescent colors On my pillow and my face It was made to make a rainbow from the beams of morning light But it makes a dozen spectrums in the dawning of delight It paints arcs of joy across the room On ceiling up above Such a splendid gift of rainbows From a someone that I love She handed me a crystal And I hung it in my room And her love shines rainbow colors That my heart cannot consume Its a teardrop of affection It’s a diamond in the morn It’s like the sunbeam that awakened On the day that she was born Elizabeth Santos |

Liz this is a treasure... a lovely sharing of cadence and imagery wrapped in special memories. I just had to smile while reading this, reminded of my sister's love for crystals and prisms. Calls them her personal rainbows thank you for the smiles dear poetess "If I could fly ... I'd pick you up ... I'd take you into the night ... |

Liz--I love what crystals do to light and I love what you do to words...I think they are the same. Hugs! |

A crystal makes a wonderful gift, for every time it makes a rainbow, you think of a special person and it lights up your day. THanks for the lovely remarks Liz |
