The Prism of Life.

Goldfinch60

Life can be so different,

So changeable.

We just do not know

What is going to happen.

Each moment can change.

It is what makes life so wonderful,

So exciting.

It is like a prism,

Whatever you do,

Depends on how the glass is turned.

    A fine write Goldie. Mine probably is turned to the direction of sherry and porkies!

          Love PRISMS and their mystical power to transform a ray of white light into a R O Y G B I V Rainbow ~ perfect illustration ! I agree we are prismatic ! It we are negative we can walk into a room ~ absorb all the radiance and transmit nothing ! Alternatively we can be Prismatic & Charismatic ~ absorb the radiance and refract it into all the colours of the Rainbow ! Are you a "damp squib" or do you "Light up a Room ?" Thanks ANDY for caring and sharing ~ Your Prismatic Friend ~ BRIAN Please climb my PYRAMID ~ Thanks B.

            Thank you Brian, I am never negative, this comes through getting a second chance at life by way of a life-saving operation.

            • BRIAN & ANGELA

              Thanks ANDY ~ I'm too young (Deo Volentes) for major operations but ~ like you ~ my Mantra is always CARPE DIEM ~ AMEN ~ BRIAN The Rainbow Man !

                  Thank you Michael.

                  A very exciting poem and thought. To always remember that life can turn in a second is very exciting indeed.

                  • Goldfinch60

                    So true mal, you never know what the next moment is going to do.

                  • dusk arising

                    A wonderful subject and great words. For me it is the coloured spectrum the prism separates from entering light rays. Each having its own attributable mood.... provocative should a blue ray fall upon an object of sadness as much as a bright ray falling on an invitation card. Inspiring and thought provoking poetry. Truly a pleasure to read this.

                    • Goldfinch60

                      Thank you da, a very true observation of the colours.

                    • Christina8

                      Wonderful contemplative poem GF! Truly a great read!

                      • Goldfinch60

                        Thank you Christina, I am glad you enjoyed it.

                        Pretty much happy these days with which ever angle I get ...cool poem I liked it

                        • Goldfinch60

                          Thanks wl, I feel pretty much the same.

                        • myself and me

                          Prism vs life, a spectacular way to interpenetrate life. As for me, my prism is in a perfect angle.
                          Perfect picture with perfect poem.

                          • Goldfinch60
