life's spin

life ...
a kaleidoscope ...
of fears
what ifs
failed possibilities
spinning ...
patterns come and go
no two alike
holding that one pattern
long enough
to give me hope
looking to the light
finding beauty in it all
and savoring
as long as I can
until ...
spun once more
by fears
the inevitable ...
patterns of change
take place
and the spin begins
once more
'round and 'round
never ending
spin...
pain
spin...
hurt
spin...
loss
spinning
spinning
what ifs...
controlling
every spin
not satisfying
not succeeding
spin...
love gone
spin...
hope gone
spin...
possibilities gone
still spinning
changing
me...
not him
last spin...
failure

Spinning enough to get dizzy here. What an apt description of the way it feelis, so out of control, just spinning, on and on.
Great writing, Wynter.
Take care.

wow...to many bad turns...I always think of kaleidoscopes as wonders of colors and designs...each one a unique beauty...I guess it's all how you feel at the time...but it was a great poem and concept. Lot's of movement to it.

Catalina- my friend, my life has been spinning out of control for awhile now. And just when I think I have it understood and am feeling strong those words of hurt creep back in and  spin me around once more. Someday I will email you and you will understand then. But for now I am just trying to keep my head above water and a smile on my lips and a sparkle to my eyes. Don't let my negative postings get to you, they are the releasing of pain allowing room for the sweetness in life to reclaim me.(soon I hope)

Ron- I have a collection of kaleidoscopes and  they are all so very beautiful and surreal..I was using the spinning and change for the expression I wanted to relay.

thank you, as always

I can feel the frustration, here.. in the spinning.. but, don't give up with failure.. Sometimes it takes a while to get that balance back... then you can spin with arms wide open in joy.

Sheila- reminds me of The Sound of Music when she spins with open arms to "The Hills Are Alive..." on the mountain top...deep ~~sighs

This poem moved me around so much im dizzy
*falls to the floor*
good job
*lays motionless*



"I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust."

I hate your socks. I'd like to burn them!

love the signature...by the way...I tried laying motionless, but it's not as much fun
*laffin'* here.
