Perceptions

A chameleon adorning mirror scales
See rainbow hue’s 
shimmer and shine, sparkle and glow
tiny glittering pinpricks of light

now dark and grey with lightning strikes 
cutting through the darkness on tears of illumination
Don’t look too close
lest you find what you seek ...

You dig and dive and analyze and search
Deeper and deeper down the rabbit hole
twisting and swirling, the further you go, the closer you come home
The end is the beginning

Look closer now … 
Change your view
Past the glittering light
Past the inky darkness
What you’re seeing 
Is you …
