Spinning Lights: Marie LeBlanc

11/14/201407/12/2017 ~ kaleidoscopeonline

Electrifying lights Spinning through my mind Like fire of the earth Shining through the light of night Glimmering lights of hope Pass through The mirage Of time Waking the inner being Inside my glowing heart Walk over the fire of coals And shine even in darkness Twists, turns, curves. All of what we experience in … Continue reading Spinning Lights: Marie LeBlanc

For every life That’s in this world, There is an angel shining. For every star That’s hidden from sight, There is a cloud With a silver lining So, if we decide To give up on life, We just have to remember; If we wait for the clouds To go away, The bright morning stars Will … Continue reading Untitled: David P. Gardner

Hourglass Eyes: John Oross

11/13/201407/13/2017 ~ kaleidoscopeonline

Time spent upon reflections, losses take their toll. It’s hard to face rejection, negatives corrupt one’s soul. Wisdom is gained through perception, when using hourglass eyes. Chasing illusions filled with dreams; reality comes as the money goes. Life is a circus of choices made, as we fight to maintain control. Each action faces it’s opposite, … Continue reading Hourglass Eyes: John Oross

Play Your Part: Daniel Omolola

11/13/201407/12/2017 ~ kaleidoscopeonline

As you arrive at the scene of life Your first reaction is to scream You cry and people You brought joy into every face You have now started your race You are welcomed into your space To do whatever you are Capable of doing And when you are done Many will think you are gone … Continue reading Play Your Part: Daniel Omolola

TOGETHER There Will Be Light: Stephen W. Sigurdson

09/22/201407/13/2017 ~ kaleidoscopeonline

The look in your eyes makes my beaten soul mend each time triggering a positive trend. My mask is slightly lifted, I take a peak, as you smile and gently speak. I see the integrity that moves with you, I begin to believe that goodness can be true. When I am lonely, I need to … Continue reading TOGETHER There Will Be Light: Stephen W. Sigurdson

Fat Freedom Day: Jason Cheung

09/22/201407/11/2017 ~ kaleidoscopeonline

I can’t stand it anymore. I mean it’s horrific. It forgives no one, senior nor child, man or woman. In fact, its trickery and the advertising mechanisms are so enticingly detrimental, it should be tried for war crime. It’s a label that stigmatises us. You rather be anything but that. It’s beyond a schoolyard taunt, … Continue reading Fat Freedom Day: Jason Cheung

Flowers: Jordan Derkson

09/22/201407/12/2017 ~ kaleidoscopeonline

Does the wind know how to Blow? Does the Bluejay do anything to fly, other than flapping its wings? Does it know how to speak squirrel, do they send tweets from tree to tree? Is that the sound of the forest? Does it listen? Does it speak? Does the dragonfly know how to hunt or … Continue reading Flowers: Jordan Derkson

Song of the Feral Child: Cassandra Kulay

09/19/201407/12/2017 ~ kaleidoscopeonline

You call to me, there is something crucial in my not noticing you reaching To pet me, what you think will help Doesn’t, don’t help me. If I die, Dark or shuddering, exultant or pitiful, That death is mine and nothing owns my soul. You offer the impoverished Something that has too high a price, … Continue reading Song of the Feral Child: Cassandra Kulay

To Be, To Belong, To Become: Ruth McLean

09/19/201407/12/2017 ~ kaleidoscopeonline

We are human beings Who belong to the family of man; We are here to learn and grow, To become the best that we can And nothing can stop us being so. We are here at the S.S.C. Convention To learn and grow some more; No matter where we are There are better things in … Continue reading To Be, To Belong, To Become: Ruth McLean
