her face stretched in the crystal in her fingers grip,
turned in a way for the reflection to enlarge her bottom lip,
light shines in rainbow spectrum colours over her skin,
penetrating her eyes deeply and soothing within,
seeing shapes and lights of a life not her own,
hidden inside the crystal in memories captured alone,
a princess holds it tight around her neck on a chain,
tears from her eyes as the feeling the crystal kept to retain,
flashing to previous times the memories of an old man,
reversing his life to a time he stole it from a home and ran,
rowing a boat across a river as a love was given it to,
keeping it in her drawer and touching it for something to do,
back in time to the first hand that touched it to craft,
as his daughter stared into it while she played and laughed,
dropping the crystal to the ground after seeing all this,
she takes a step back feeling a sensation of bliss,
all the emotion of the people who held it rushed inside,
as she reaching down to pick it up again and go on another ride.
