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

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

The Fray: Robert St. Germain

02/02/202401/30/2024 ~ kaleidoscopeonline

I am battle weary, fresh from the fray.But now I will live another day.I have fought this war almost to the death.Now I can take another breath.I am starting to get back on my feet.Right now I am still a little weak.I am bloody and bruised and still in some pain.But now I feel some … Continue reading The Fray: Robert St. Germain

Another Day: Robert St. Germain

02/02/202401/30/2024 ~ kaleidoscopeonline

Another day another dollar.Some people yell and some people holler.Buses pass by and cars drive around.There is so much action and so much sound.The cops patrol, and the street preachers preach.Some of us learn and some of us teach.Paramedics pick people off the streets.It goes on and on every week.Some of us run from the … Continue reading Another Day: Robert St. Germain

Tears: Robert St. Germain

06/21/2023 ~ kaleidoscopeonline

Let your tears run down your face.For one day they will vanish without a trace.Some say it is silly to have a cry.But I still do not know why.Crying is something we have to do,to get the pain we are going through.We all have hardships in our lives.But do not let it fill your heart … Continue reading Tears: Robert St. Germain

Smile: Robert St. Germain

06/21/2023 ~ kaleidoscopeonline

When you smile the darkness cracks, and the light bleeds through.In you I find something I never knew.Now the monster is sleeping quietly in bed.No longer can I hear it screaming in my head.The angel will carry me to a place of bliss.And in your arms I truly believe in this.I may not go to … Continue reading Smile: Robert St. Germain

Untitled: Richard Bartos

06/21/2023 ~ kaleidoscopeonline

Where by the ways of wisdom will penetrate the obstacles of ignorance we see the dueling goes on and on when wildfires of wisdom do burn the forest of ignorance which is in the existence of ourselves and we see if application is made operative to assault these outlays of the chief route of suffering … Continue reading Untitled: Richard Bartos
