Kaleidoscope

Jostle, hassle, elbow bustle

in a swirling rainbow tussle

Caught and frozen, broken sheen

now unites for one brief sceneLonely in the dark I grope

the key's in my kaleidoscopeConfused faces change their places

take up stances, exchange glances

Lost in multicoloured hues

there is no whole which I can chooseLonely in the dark I grope

the key's in my kaleidoscopeIn one face, one moment's fusion

Realise the new illusion

Clutching fingers break the puzzle

jostle, hassle, elbow bustleStill out in the dark I grope

the key's in my kaleidoscope
