Kaleidoscope
Kaleidoscope
Quarter-turn of the tube
a jewel-bright image shatters
no going back
what we know is gone
reality recomposed
So life in every moment
Volcanic ash rains
as the infant sucks in
its first breath
Earthquake tumbles a town
while daffodils tremble open
All of it all at once
somewhere
Amrita- I was thinking of a kaleidoscope recently and writing a poem in my head while out for a walk … the imagery escaped as I carried on with my day. Perhaps it escaped to your skilled hands!
Your poetic insight...universe as kaleidoscope...so reflects my own experience!
