The deceiving Glass

Nothing is ever what it seems

A prism.

When the right spotlight strikes, its performance creates awe and delight.

Bold and beautiful.

Filling its intended audience’s eyes with bewilderment and hypnotic splendor.

Admire and succumb.

However, a fact often quickly forgotten.

A prism has multiple faces and the rotation is constant.

Always imminent.

The tone transition is swift and sudden.

The glistening crystal becomes plain glass.

Dull and silent.

The edges are more prominent.

Yet, the exploit of shattering white across the dark emptiness is just enough.

The audiences gaze is entranced and desperate.

To be a part of that joyful moment again.

Looking on. Waiting for it patiently with innocent hope.

    Unwittingly surrendering to being restrained.

Never to seek true joy elsewhere.
