Through a Mother Refracted

A light through a prism its essence split.
later aligned bent just so, made whole and more
At first unfocused, reflected. o'ershot? not yet penetrating
chaotic and disordered over time gently focused
the prisms better formed the light enters, diverges
in new pairs combined clear and bright
a fresh field illuminated new crystals to catch
Still on occasion the prior aligned worn, time-weatherd
the first light still reflects. In that light she still warms
