A PRISM

If I were a prism,
Would a rainbow they see,
Does your spirit shine through me,
Enough to see thee?

When my heart has grown cold
So no mercy I find,
Do they see only darkness
In me for mankind?

When I leave wounded birds
To lie on the street,
Do you cry for the needs
That I fail to meet?

How much can I give
Before feeling deplete…
And why broken wings
Always down at my feet?

If I were a prism
And your spirit the light,
Would a rainbow shine through me
To brighten the night?
