Prism

by Peter Serra copyright 2007

The nature of light is to reveal.
In darkness all is concealed.
In one lives deception, in the other correction.

A forest of night a room without light
A candle of wax absent wick,
Inhibited movement caution advised
What good is beauty, what purpose is life,
Absent the prism of light?

Corrective lenses high wattage bulb
Movement captured by the timing of strobe
Fly to the paper moth to the flame
The nature of man does the same.

Within the rainbow nothing's concealed
In the spectrum of light love is revealed.
All that is must be tested, even the black light must undergo inspection
And where there is darkness its movement arrested.

1 John 4:1Dear friends, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see if they are from God,
because many false prophets have gone out into the world.
