Crystal guardian

Dumbest thing I ever wrote

Working in the record store

The owner wanted to teach me more

One day he had a crystal in his hand

He taught me something hard to understand

Every crystal has a spirit he said

I will show you instead

He dangled it by a string

And said to ask it anything

Under the dangling pendulum laid a mat

For answers, the crystal used that

Labeled with three words

Yes 

No 

Maybe

I asked it a question

The pendulum swung

I was stunned

To this day

I ask away

Using it as my guide

The answers have yet to change

No matter how I try

With these crystals I will continue to scry
