a prism's potential

know you are crystalline truth, a prismatic wonder
with one beam of light, you reveal your full spectrum
and you paint the space you inhabit
with a burst of your iridescent hues
radiating far beyond good enough
on every shadow in the back of your mind
bringing colour to everyone who looks upon you
your angles are unlike anyone else
and the patterns you leave dance differently
transforming what wasn't there into something spectacular
only you can make space inside
to grow that hidden glimmer within
