What if the world's

a kaleidoscope?

As it tumbles around

and the patterns change,

we stare, entranced.

The transformations

surprise us.

And some bring delight.

And the light

makes it all sparkle,

scintillating, bold. 

Then, one day,

we discover

we can put it down,

this small tube,

if only for a moment.

And see the source

of all the light

beyond.
