The landscape changing
Like a kaleidoscope scene
As I was there patiently waiting
To see it I could find solice in
An unrequited dream
I held no answers
     To the questions
That were scattered
       Like pebbles
All over the ground
I  don't seem to know
Which one represents sad
    Or happy or mad
I don't know how to find out
         So I guess I'm stuck
With  keeping them in my pocket
   Pulling them out 1 at a time
     Seeking the one that says luck
       But consistent in finding
         The one that says mad
This wasn't the way I used to be
          Now you SEEM to be
      This way all  of the time
        Its obvious I don't know
          .  ...The difference
        I haven't a clue......DO YOU?
          KNOW WHO I WAS ?
      So I can find my way back
  Into that kaleidoscope scene
        Pulled myself out when I
             Wanted back in
      I wave to the image
Patiently standing there - watching
         Who doesn't know
  While watching me go..
..whether to be happy ,sad or mad
As they sort through the pocket
For the pebble they never knew
That they had-- that says simply
  I'm glad- I'm glad --I'm glad.
