The Shake Up

I could pick through the pieces Of the kaleidoscope Nothing fits together Or is held in place Pulling it apart Hardly explains a thing Nor does a description do it justice Symmetry creates the magic Mirrored and nestled into place Ready for any shake up To redefine the beauty The trick is to view the whole With fascination And not try too hard To understand

This sets the world into tiny pieces of wonder and a focussed, great ending. This poem speaks to me....good one Dilly.

Haha I'd forgotten I'd done it but the bit about viewing the whole is something you said in a comment reply that stuck. I did of course fit the rest of the poem around it, so thank you for your kind words in both senses :) (eventually I got the pun in the comment too!)

Sage advice. The less you try to understand, the happier you might be. Nice write DD :)
