Kaleidoscope

Crank up all the colors just to 

     Mesmerize my eyes as the

          Fleeting, flowing, free-fall

               Sends my senses in a spin.

 

Simple shapes selected, then

     Reflected one by one by one

          In a multi-layered mirroring

               That doubles back again.

 

Turn the tube to view the show

     Of sequined, sparkling shapes.

          Find designs of every kind

               As light sublimely bends.

 

Even though you know the show 

     Is shy reality,

          It’s glee to spin, then spin again,

                And easy to pretend.

 

Praying for a joyful trek,

     A grand kaleidoscope.

          Riding boldly with my eyes,

               Enjoying to the end.
