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.
