Kaleidoscope

Jostle, hassle, elbow bustle

in a swirling rainbow tussle

Caught and frozen, broken sheen

now unites for one brief scene

Lonely in the dark I grope

the key's in my kaleidoscope

Confused faces change their places

take up stances, exchange glances

Lost in multicoloured hues

there is no whole which I can choose

Lonely in the dark I grope

the key's in my kaleidoscope

In one face, one moment's fusion

Realise the new illusion

Clutching fingers break the puzzle

jostle, hassle, elbow bustle

Still out in the dark I grope

the key's in my kaleidoscope
