Kaleidoscope

Written from a moment of realisation.

A glimmer and a shimmer,

The way the colours bounce.

The trees glistened,

Birds whistled,

Nothing stirred on the ground.

Water droplets

Change the refracting light—

Oh how the world sees me.

This is delight.

My heart sang with the breeze,

Skin prickled on end.

The colours shaping now into

Something I can comprehend.

The feeling, the flavour—

What a song.

To see myself refracting

In between worlds,

Or the canvas in front.

How the picture changes

With every breath.

Come now,

See how

The Kaleidoscope

Can change your world.
