Colorsong 
 
There was music spinning round and round
Escaping, falling to the ground
I tried to catch what I could hear
Then something shimmered very near
I saw a circle rolling along
And I followed it, chasing a song
Then radiant red came thundering out
And waves of blue billowed about
I spied a squiggle, wiggling around
Red side up and blue side down
Diving in were drops of yellow
Flipping, flopping, sort of mellow
Floating by was breezy green
Bringing notes oh so serene
Brassy orange blaring bright
A jumble of shapes, just in sight
Sounds of indigo, now all swirling
The music gradually unfurling
Shades of sounds mixing and blending
Trying to find the song's ending
Colors circling home to dance
Finding the song as if by chance

with many thanks to Mary Jane Shaw for a circle, a squiggle and so much more.
