Kaleidoscope Brilliant colors of the rainbow Images forever changed With every turn, a new design As life and love are rearranged Magnificent displays appearing Making smiles and giving hope A different way, a different view In life’s superb kaleidoscope The most delightful lost forever Impossible to save the past Events can never be repeated Splendid moments never last Keep on turning, keep on looking Happiness will reappear Each day brings something unexpected Don’t retreat from what you fear Love can come a second time This is a lesson you will learn The changing patterns of our lives Burst forth with every little turn Most splendid love you’ve ever known Is right before your very eyes Look into the kaleidoscope And let yourself be mesmerized No matter the degree of sorrow So many promises of hope Are just around another turn Of life’s wondrous kaleidoscope Elizabeth Santos |

So you decided to post it... and I'm glad you did! I loved it! "We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars." -Oscar Wilde |

I have always been intrigued by kaleidoscopes and to this day can't walk past one without raising it up to my eye to view the world through its prisms...what a multi faceted piece of rhyme you've presented for our viewing pleasure here |

Liz, what a wonderful job you did with this one! Kaleidoscopes are just like that. You can make a turn and get a beautiful image that can't last forever and, once you turn again, that previous image can never fully reappear but that's ok because there are so many new beautiful images yet to discover and I'm rambling here 'cause it's early and my caffeine supply is only half-satisfied and anyway it is a wonderful idea for a poem comparing life's ever-changing twists and turns in this way and you did a beautiful job with it I'm going for more coffee now  |

Liz, I knew I wanted to read this as soon as I saw the title and coming from your talented pen, I knew it would be perfection.I was right(smile) this is excellent and full of both words of wisdom and your poetic grace. take care, jm she said I dont know if I've ever been good enough, and I'm a little bit rusty, and I feel like my head is caving in. ...and I dont know if I've ever been really loved by a hand thats touched me... and I feel like somethings gonna give... and I'm a little bit angry. matchbox20 |

Elizabeth, my dear~ This is so lovely. The kaleidoscope does present us with those ever-changing glints of colored views. I've always loved and been fascinated by them. Your poem is alive with those lovely images. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ [email protected] |
