Kaleidoscope - Turn the tube. Brilliant shapes In fluorescent colors Shout joy, Happiness. Then, in only A nanosecond Everything changes. A slight touch, A twist of fate, and All shatters into Chaos, Confusion. Bright shards of Red glass, green, yellow, Blue – breaking - Flying apart - Smashing into each other - Nothing in order. Life in pieces. But wait – Try again. Another turn, A flick of the wrist, A change of light, New emotions blaze Into joyful patterns. How long Will they last? Only the kaleidoscope Has the answer.
