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

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!

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

End Begins…: John Oross

(Spoken into telephone receiver with passion) Please don’t leave me, I will change… promise. (Pause) Why do you say this when you mean that? (The phone is hung up) “An end is another beginning. Any beginning has another end.” Life is a string of choices made Some find happiness while other are played Looking for … Continue reading End Begins…: John Oross

Silence encased in darkness Perception framed in light Caught within a nightmare Of its monstrous appetite Built from broken dreams Who am I?
