Crystal

Poem

I want to know what it’s like
To feel cool and clean
Fresh and small
To see without a history
To be a mirror
A crystal ball
To feed all that’s alive
Bringing life
Vitality
And being open
Unassuming
Free and flowing
Curious and self-contained
Full of energy
The pitter-patter of rain
Full of simplicity
Oceans of oxygen and light
Reflecting what it sees
In the sky
