Looking Forward

Nineteen. An oyster opens up before me
Revealing crystalline calcium carbonate -
A prismatic pearl.

The colours of the arc, each a different path
Tempting me to divergent destinies -
A choice.

Appeal to superficiality - the enchanting embellishment?
Or preeminence - the incandescent,
A light for all?

    Truthfully, I felt it could go on a bit further. I do like the vocabulary used, especially in the first two verses. A good poem that you have written here.
