Just Listen: Stephen Sigurdson

10/11/2018 ~ kaleidoscopeonline

Bitter soul in need of a genuine heart, a cloud of depression unable to pour, a hole, forever apart. Indifference in a shallow world, music without meaning, bitter soul in need of a genuine heart, a cloud of depression unable to pour, "life" not living. A smile ready to crack, on call, no light, not … Continue reading Just Listen: Stephen Sigurdson

Join me on a cloud underneath the moon savour every moment, for the morning will come soon. Love me now under the stars. Let's say goodbye to all the old scars. We can enjoy the now away from it all.

Identity in Motion: Peter Herget

10/11/2018 ~ kaleidoscopeonline

A picture can tell you a story of a thousand words. Along with every picture, takes the mind to a higher train of thought, a deeper sense of imagination, to even a better understanding. With every detail, with every location, with every look into each other's eyes tells of stories of endless adventure, thrills and … Continue reading Identity in Motion: Peter Herget

Reflection: Henry Peters

10/11/2018 ~ kaleidoscopeonline

Here we sit upon a late autumn afternoon promising winter will be soon when approaching darkness at five you thank your lucky stars to be alive.

What about it creates the amount of artists that it does? I think it is the energy … Continue reading Winnipeg The Creative Vortex: Dawn Mcdonnal

Shackled: Cassandra Kulay

10/11/2018 ~ kaleidoscopeonline

We are all shackled to the wheel of fortunate turning. We are all shackled to the material things. We are all prone to losing. We are shackled to the immaterial, to chance on destiny. We are all shackled to questioning, Nothing can be sure, in times of stillness, In times of change, we create and … Continue reading Shackled: Cassandra Kulay

Anne finished fussing with her seven year old son's costume and stood back. "Well Mitchel, you make a gruesome zombie." Mitchel made a pained face to show his delight as he moaned and limped about in character. "Grandpa said I would too," he proclaimed. "He chooses this over a superhero costume," Anne muttered as the … Continue reading A Promise Kept: C. Fay Shlanda
