INNOCENCE SHOWING
`
The child is a lovely kaleidoscope
Ever changing tomorrow's dream
Face down in the grass
Perusing an ant
Or over, wandering through clouds, perhaps
Not even wondering,
Just watching the ponies that run there.
The kaleidoscope alters the image
Reflected there in the mirrors
Of innocent childhood,
While daring to climb
Or follow paths the kitten has chosen
Not even worried,
Discovering miracles as they go.
While the pendulum swings ever slowly
And constantly changes the dreams
Transforming colors
Into black and white
Or maybe artists' palettes they have seen
Not even knowing,
The lovely kaleidoscope there showing.
