Cut-crystal bowl (antique) holds floating candle

So nice it is to find a regular use for this crystal bowl
kept, not shunted off to other more desirous relatives
when a dead aunt stopped running her fingers over it;
gathering dust even in a glass-doored china cabinet
rarely used
too exotic for us
Now we float a candle in it
from the so-called church retreat
and it bends lovely sharp reflections
every which way.
