Prism
(from Brainstorms &
Artwise Poetry Roulette Cards)
The facet of you that I see
is the person I know you to be.
You seemed clear on the surface,
until sunlight cut through your angles,
distinguishing tones
I hadn’t noticed before.
Something within
bends the light,
allowing me to see myself
differently through you.
And I wonder:
When you look at me,
do you see the self that I was
or the person I am becoming?
Wishing you moments of unexpected alchemy.
With love,
Jennifer
