somebody's dungeon

In the scheme of things
when sorting
what should be filed,
or placed in a scrap book
and saved
you came up wanting.

So I replaced you
with something better.

A kaleidoscope
that isn't afraid of change.

That with each new turn
another design
another splash
of patterned color.

In playful twist
I see, and see again
discover in repetition
sweet new dreams.

And you,
in black and white
immovable defiance
of change
are obliterated
by the color array.

well, it's true, some people just can't do change. Some thrive on it. The comfort zone is an awful thing sometimes, especially when someone you love is in it and you've moved out. Nicely written.

I think Dixie summed it up very well...Yes,
there are those who never do,  even when
the way is lit clearly for them...

Nicely done piece of wisdom...
