Dead: Cassandra Kulay

04/09/201607/12/2017 ~ kaleidoscopeonline

You died, your blue-gray skin reflecting all my pain, that you are leaving me this shell and going home again. What I would give is endless, just to see you lovely and vibrant, young, stubborn and trying, instead of stuck in this bed, bored and waiting for death. Then again, I envy you, this great … Continue reading Dead: Cassandra Kulay

My Heart Ached: Andrews

04/09/201607/11/2017 ~ kaleidoscopeonline

My heart did rejoice finally After a prolonged flight of searching As I found her then again I realised The sunshine did turn to grey skies Though it could never be now My heart ached with deepened pain It is a day plus a time of sadness The breeze has called out to me again … Continue reading My Heart Ached: Andrews

Terrified To Fall: Stephen Sigurdson

03/12/201607/13/2017 ~ kaleidoscopeonline

Can you see some calm, through the lifelines in my palm? Can you see some serenity, through the leaves in my tea? Can you see some hope, through the stars horoscope? Can you see some good fortune, please I need to know gypsy woman. Generally I do not look ahead, however, today I cannot cope, … Continue reading Terrified To Fall: Stephen Sigurdson

A Cold Day: Robert St.Germain

03/12/201607/13/2017 ~ kaleidoscopeonline

Here in Winnipeg, I walk down the street. And I feel the snow crunching under my feet I see my own breath in front of my eyes. And the air is too chilly for clouds to form in the sky. I move fast to outrun the winter hounds. And the extra layer of clothing adds … Continue reading A Cold Day: Robert St.Germain

The Song: Richard Edwards

03/12/201607/12/2017 ~ kaleidoscopeonline

The angel stands before the grace of God The song is sung by the angel It is the song of peace The call carries with it; the dream Your love is before the angel Softly the song is sung It carries with it; the hope It is of eternal peace Your beauty is eternal Peace … Continue reading The Song: Richard Edwards

Essence: Raime Goldberg

03/12/201607/12/2017 ~ kaleidoscopeonline

What does it feel like to be you? What is your essence? Love. Unbounded creativity, Feeling empty and full all at once. The very presence of who I am is spacious awareness. This frees me. I transcend my past. "I" is empty space. Spacious emptiness. There is a presence but no form. Tao. Everything ceases … Continue reading Essence: Raime Goldberg

Masterpiece: Peter Herget

Without art where would life be. Without life where would art be. The answer is they go hand in hand. Life is art, art is life. So create a masterpiece With everything you have. Never stop exploring and asking questions. Always ask and learn as much as you can and the opportunities will be endless. … Continue reading Masterpiece: Peter Herget

Love: Jordan Derksen

03/12/201607/11/2017 ~ kaleidoscopeonline

Love is as universal as the moon and the stars. Love is older than all the trees. It comes and goes like the changing of the seasons, from hot to cold and cold to hot. Love can come like floods from a river or slow like a stream. It can wash over the land as … Continue reading Love: Jordan Derksen

Life's Crazy Dance: John Oross

As I lay dreaming Thoughts of you were flowing I had no way of knowing Where this was going Thoughts of you captured My heart’s pure rapture It’s you that I’m after Forever after… and forever more… I woke up restless My soul filled with yearning My mind was slowly learning My passion was truly … Continue reading Life's Crazy Dance: John Oross

Trees at Night: James Adamson

03/12/201607/11/2017 ~ kaleidoscopeonline

The vein ridden sky disallows the beating heart's recluse like a hermit that breaks the lotus position and dances. We all find our way to the open; to the wheat though frost covered windows reveal the warped light of the empty winter trees that scrape at our technology; at our dead and fallen inner basics; … Continue reading Trees at Night: James Adamson
