Optimism: Robert St. Germain

02/16/202401/30/2024 ~ kaleidoscopeonline

If everything was dark then the dark would be trivial.If there was no light then we would not notice the dark.And the dark would have no romance.No living thing can live without light, for light is part of us all.If you never come out of your own word then you will miss out on life.You … Continue reading Optimism: Robert St. Germain

Never: Robert St. Germain

02/16/202401/30/2024 ~ kaleidoscopeonline

What is gone can never be again.What is done can never be undone.What is said can never be unsaid.And you will carry that with you until the day you are dead.Do not wait for yesterday to return.You must live and you must learn.One day the end will be.So, live your life and set yourself free.You … Continue reading Never: Robert St. Germain

Whisper: Robert St. Germain

02/16/202401/30/2024 ~ kaleidoscopeonline

A roar becomes a whisperwhen we let go of the past.Some tings die so fast,while other things last.A meteor can fall to the earth,yet it crumbles in the atmosphere.And it is only a mere rock when it gets near.Our courage can protect us from going too insane.And fate may find a way to take away … Continue reading Whisper: Robert St. Germain

Waking Dream: Cassandra Kulay

02/16/202401/30/2024 ~ kaleidoscopeonline

When I dream wide awake,Visions pass before my eyes.Confusion, while waiting for sun rise.Nightmares from the past,Make me toss and turn;From them I can’t wake.Can’t get away from the lingering threat.Can’t shake that sense of dread.Fear nags at me, as I go about my day.Sometimes it seems like nothing can make them go away.Everything passes … Continue reading Waking Dream: Cassandra Kulay

Homeless: Cassandra Kulay

02/02/202401/30/2024 ~ kaleidoscopeonline

Broke and broken, it is hard to see our shared humanity,to understand how you have fallen so low while we wereall grabbing at that brass ring and grasped it for a whileto varying degrees. The life ahead of you is hard to see,painful to contemplate at length, will you be sleeping ona sidewalk tonight? You … Continue reading Homeless: Cassandra Kulay

Nighttime Surprise: Marjolaine Brodeur

02/02/202401/30/2024 ~ kaleidoscopeonline

No pleasanter could have been given me in the middle of the night than the appearance of three stars visible in the night sky; one in the South and two in the East. After months of only seeing the moon, to see this spectacle brought a measure of joy to my heart. Though modernity had … Continue reading Nighttime Surprise: Marjolaine Brodeur

Winter: Marjolaine Brodeur

02/02/202401/30/2024 ~ kaleidoscopeonline

Looking at the way the fog and rime made the area where seems attractive filled me with wonder. Then, later that afternoon as the sun made its way towards evening, the sky was tinged in pink with the noon providing light instead of the day’s sun. I wished so much to be able to take … Continue reading Winter: Marjolaine Brodeur

De-stressing Society: Richard Bartos

02/02/202401/30/2024 ~ kaleidoscopeonline

The key to the stress-less societyis to be found in the progressivenessof the conditioning in best qualitywhich is that of increasing basic goodness.And with the increase of the secondthere will be a decrease in the oppositesituation so Samsaric and not fecundthat the happiness and wisdom is a banquetthat with destressing grows and soon growsto melt … Continue reading De-stressing Society: Richard Bartos

The Winds Blow: Richard Edwards

02/02/202401/30/2024 ~ kaleidoscopeonline

The winds blow,they carry us to worldsthat are there. We know of peace,we have dreamt of peace,yet mankind prepares for war. How I wish we understood the worth of peace.In the sixties there were roits in regards to the Viet nammake love not war. It is senseless,we pay so much moreunless we have learned the … Continue reading The Winds Blow: Richard Edwards

Screaming at the Sky: Robert St. Germain

02/02/202401/30/2024 ~ kaleidoscopeonline

Here I am screaming at the sky,trying to get it all outside.I am throwing stones into the sun.I am doing it more than just for fun.I am looking at the face in the mirror.Now I can see the pain and the fear.I am fighting shadows on the wall.I now that I will take a fall.I … Continue reading Screaming at the Sky: Robert St. Germain
