Try Again! By John Oross

06/10/201806/13/2018 ~ kaleidoscopeonline

There comes a time In everyone’s life When you are down With no way out What do you do? Do you give up? Oh no… No… You get back up And every fall Battered and bruised But to give it your all You try again You try again! Oh… I have cried real hard When … Continue reading Try Again! By John Oross

Nothing’s Written By John Oross

05/10/201805/11/2018 ~ kaleidoscopeonline

It was a cold winter morning With nothing but white to see It was a time for reflection I had nothing except my creativity So armed with pen and paper I started to confront my destiny.

The Nature of Time: John Oross

11/14/201711/14/2017 ~ kaleidoscopeonline

I am free!  Able to go where the wind takes me.  Directed by its strength until it steps aside, replaced by its opposite. Suddenly with a howl, a flurry of great magnitude takes place, covering all in its embrace. Then, just as suddenly, it relinquishes its hold and is gone.  I am no longer free!  … Continue reading The Nature of Time: John Oross

John Oross: Beat of my Heart

09/11/201709/12/2017 ~ kaleidoscopeonline

Don’t you hear what I hear? Can you truly feel the rhythm? It is the beating of my heart! Can you see what I see? Don’t you see into my eyes? They are windows into my soul!

Sanities Kiss: John Oross

As the sun was shining down From up above in the bright blue sky Everyone was at peace, filled with love Enjoying the sun, Haiti style Dealing with their daily lives Under the peace of tranquil skies Suddenly there was rumbling Nowhere to run… No place to hide… Why did this disaster have to happen? … Continue reading Plenty of Angels in the Sky: John Oross

A Window Inside My Soul: John Oross

11/12/201606/29/2017 ~ kaleidoscopeonline

I have given my art away To heal me in many ways… But on my own, I have grown… Trying to reap what I have sewn… Trying to exist in the world of greed… Is quite difficult I do concede… Because in my heart I love everyone… But being alone is not very fun… So … Continue reading A Window Inside My Soul: John Oross
