Beauty-Form-Vision

Each individual piece of a life, is
cut, shaped, coloured, placed
carefully into a beautiful ordered
syncopated pattern, in balance
to please the eye and salve the heart,
life glistens, is healthy, contented, calm.

With the slightest breath
something moves the lens
a merest quarter-turn, less
so the scene fractures, becomes bizarre
disrupted, we are bereft, lifeless.

Life will adjust, re-focus to the new,
angles tuck and fit, colours swirl to merge
form fresh hues, tapestries re-hang
warmth returns, pulses slow.

Hold life’s kaleidoscope carefully
keep it safe.
