Kaleidoscope Mind

Old, rusted keys
turn the lock to

reveal

a kaleidoscope mind,
swirling with
colors of judgement,
of moods...

Watch the patterns
change, as the glass
shifts during the day;
can you hear the sound
of the glass pieces
rolling, tumbling into
place?

Many moods, many phases,
many turns until the
bleak lighted orb that
rules the night removes
the colors from your
sight; green is gray, and
pink is white,

But you decide which is
right, what is real and what
is illusion, while the
thoughts always turn and

tumble - the colors change
within that kaleidoscope mind...

 

And your eyes, the windows

to your soul, behold the

colors and patterns within.

And when they are open,

they cannot hide the

prism, from which arrays

the color is displayed inside

a kaleidoscope mind...

 

Nor can they keep others

from looking in:

for a kaleidoscope mind

is a curious thing,

encountered few and

far between the wonders

of the world.

And a little inspiration from the Moody Blues' "Question."

    Reminds me so much of my inner self. So many layers, so many colours. So much confusion. Just all jumbled into one. Kind of like a stream of consciousness, but a beautiful one, yet so complex it could be a story or triumph, written in verse.

    The price for seeing in color is to be blind in the dark. Good and Evil are not easy to see sometimes. Requires a simple mind, I'm afraid...

    I I feel like you really stretched out on this one, or tapped into some unseen vein of pure gold inspiration. I think this is my favorite from you yet.
