A Kaleidoscope View

Iridescence

I've awoken from the slumber Emerged at full brightness From what once was eternal I can now see the world for all its might where once was grey Is now full of light Lessons were learned within those times I never realised one life, Could such a ripple effect As an action releases a chain reaction As fingerprints embedded Can never be forgotten

Growth

From the roots What may Did stem From where the growth began A beauty did emerge

Imbalance

Chemicals are at war within Fighting for my voice Willing to take over And throw life Into a frenzy To unleash Their very darkest of demons Or reckless euphoric might I await My dopamine, cerotinin and executioner

Forest Freedom

Where feet lay upon

This here earth

The world is flowing

The world is free

Where the spirit soars through streams

And chases through trees

Peace entwined

Within forged oak

This is what the soul seeks

Magic within the trees

The Girl Who Once Was

There once was a girl

Who carried hope in her heart

A spark in her eye

And a wonder for the world

There once was a girl

Who felt no fear

Held a smile from ear to ear

And an imagination beyond limitations

There once was a girl

As older she became

Battled for justices far beyond her control

And soon the world made her tame

There once was a girl

Very tolerant and obedient

As made to be what society enforced

Shackled into groundhog day

There once was a girl

Who followed suit

Merged with the crowd

Although she once proudly stood out

There once was a girl

A forgotten child at heart

The spark now gone

An emptiness within

A dullness where light once shone

And adrift from her dreams for they had wore thin

Day

"Is this the end?"

The moon whispered

"Always there was

And forever there is

Faith we'll make it

Another day"

The sun shined

Debris

Survivors of the devastation

As few as they were

Those words marched on

Beyond fields of regret

And flagstones of disappointment

They carried tales of

Hopes and dreams

Ignited and destroyed

Flecks of sparks

From her eyes now eternally redundant

Float through the chaos

Created by a now

Rested, exhausted soul

Her spirit lay

Where the remnants remained

In the hearts of those who remembered

But those words marched on

Past. Present. Future.

Remember what once was

And what has been

The smiles of today

And the promises of tomorrow

Unity

The inevitable injustices

In this world

Some unforeseen

Some unforgettable

In the depth of hatred

Must be overcome

The willingness to blame

For all of yesterdays failures

Could never quite equate

To the possibility of

Tomorrow's successes

Shield

Poetically,

I search and have seeked,

Justice that was not reached

Truths untold,

Foundations of the broken

Were where my walls took mould

To which lay the broken

Unredeeming soul

The incapable one,

And now this is her story,

Spoken
