Brilliant Light: Richard Edwards

06/10/201607/11/2017 ~ kaleidoscopeonline

The stars are in the heavens their light allows us to see the beauty of the light the doves of sleep allows the dreamers to dream The writers to write their works that faith of the living to accept what the past has to offer The love is eternal it causes the song of mercy … Continue reading Brilliant Light: Richard Edwards

The Dancer: Joyce Lancaster

06/10/201607/01/2017 ~ kaleidoscopeonline

Gracefully dancing across the floor To the beat of eagles flying And the wind blowing As sweet music filtering Through the room The dancer is a beautiful sight to see And for all to adore.

The River Still Flows: John Oross

SOLITUDES ARE LIKE THOUGHTS WITHOUT SLEEP NO ONE IS AT PEACE, SINCE NONE SHALL CAPTURE NOR KEEP LIGHT RISES WITH THE DAWN OFF INTO THE DISTANCE PERCEPTION MISPERCEPTION HEAR THE CARRION CALL SINCE MY DEATH AT 12 I HAVE BEEN REBORN DEAR LADY, DEAL LADY, I HAVE HEARD YOUR CALL I AM HERE, I AM … Continue reading The River Still Flows: John Oross

Hope: James Adamson

06/10/201607/11/2017 ~ kaleidoscopeonline

I want to share our love with our lips, peck you on the nose, (you don't like that and I don't know why) I love your eyes the most, please, why don't you believe me? I will caress my lips on your closed eyes, share our love with our lips, look in our eyes, wish … Continue reading Hope: James Adamson

Grabbing Darkness: Cassandra Kulay

06/10/201607/11/2017 ~ kaleidoscopeonline

Grabbing darkness to me, low and heavy, velvet and sweet, mourning through pills as if they can cure society or the ills originating inside of me. There are hordes of gargoyles crowding the medication, climbing the walls like ivy, blocking my tears and sustaining me. A laurel crown of distinction, for every hopeful function, that … Continue reading Grabbing Darkness: Cassandra Kulay

Across the Heavens: Andrews

06/10/201607/01/2017 ~ kaleidoscopeonline

Seagulls Cascading by Whitened pureness Like angels flying Across the heavens I do sigh Gazing upward to the sky Me being Seemingly left lost On this land I watch them soar In sunlight plus moonlight Pondering on myself I watch them soar I realise now One fine day Wing tip to wing tip I will … Continue reading Across the Heavens: Andrews

Trees of Wisdom: Brian Smith

05/10/201607/01/2017 ~ kaleidoscopeonline

Like trees, we grow. We begin small, and each day our life branches this way and that. Along the way, we gain the nutrients of knowledge and experiences. Combined with the right nurturing, a leaf of wisdom is achieved. Throughout one’s life, there are many branches with the possibility of an infinite number of wisdom-leaves. … Continue reading Trees of Wisdom: Brian Smith

What a Deal!: Wendy Leslie Kirsch

05/10/201607/11/2017 ~ kaleidoscopeonline

I found myself a real bargain The other day at the grocery store I thought to myself, ‘what a deal!’ I’ll buy packages galore The brand name was not KRAFT But it was macaroni and cheese I cooked it up and called the kids ‘Come and let’s eat dinner please” So back to the store … Continue reading What a Deal!: Wendy Leslie Kirsch

Henry's Helmet: Stephen Sigurdson

05/10/201607/11/2017 ~ kaleidoscopeonline

To distract the stimuli flooded his way, to inspire him in different times through the day. To overcome the voices in his head, with something upbeat instead. To help him walk in the crowds of frowns and smiling faces, continue his travels through his anxious paces. To ensure all the different sounds are sometimes at … Continue reading Henry's Helmet: Stephen Sigurdson

A Little Bird: Robert St. Germain

05/10/201607/08/2017 ~ kaleidoscopeonline

A little bird can be treated poorly from bigger birds. But, that little bird can be strong. And he can find other little birds to carry on. When there is thunder, that bird can sing loud enough to be heard. And someone can relate to his tunes. When it rains he can find shelter somewhere. … Continue reading A Little Bird: Robert St. Germain
