Prism

The room with the solo window brooded
The weight of the curtains and heavy blinds
Were deafening enough for the air, it alluded
It complained to the soul in voices of all kinds
The star's gone; it urged to let go of the binds

A little glimmer, a tiny beam it craved
A mild chance for the blank to be braved

The next day,
It saw a tiny prism on the window sill
Victory for light at last, 
The air let out a humming shrill

The light ray found it at the break of dawn
An array of colors from the rainbow it did spawn

It danced around the reflections
That were frayed, grayed, and brittle
Entered the untouched water-cup
Coaxed to move and break a little

The light was promised an air
That smelled of daisies in bloom
A room of yellow and cinnamon 
And of exuberance in the loom

But the eclipsed pair of eyes there
Had their sight behind bars
Oh, they could see things around 
But their vision, stolen by stars,
Nowhere to be found

Tricked into the walls that smelled of heart
Light has nowhere to escape or dart
Bouncing off broken mirrors
That lay without a sound

It still kept trying to dance around
But without a complete soul...
no music was found

About Me

My photo
As a blogger, one of the things I am often asked is "How/ When did you get started with all this?" For as long as my memory takes me back, I have always found myself pondering about a plethora of things. I have always loved reflecting on the small but wonderful aspects of life. Ipsita Contemplates has been very special and I love to get the opportunity to share my musings, my thoughts, and my perceptions with you. It is also a way to appreciate the essence of Life!
