Kaleidoscope

My life is a Kaleidoscope of colours swirling; people, places, cultures, mixing together mingling with the pain the wretches at my soul as life changes sending me into a spinning vat of emotions.  I am ripped apart leaving pieces behind and clinging to the hope that tomorrow will be better than today.  The colours and shapes combine to make a picture that bends and shapes the world around me.  I am caught up in the display of a million particles changing my perspective bringing joy, hope and laughter to my ever-changing world, amidst the ruins of lives left behind.  I am caught up in the dance, moving here and there pausing for a moment only to move on again in a direction unforeseen.  The colours of my world change with every movement bringing together the aspects of my past with the reality of the present and just as I begin to enjoy the picture, change: my enemy, my rival, my companion, and friend.  The colors are moving again, dancing across the screen of my life bringing hope, joy, laughter and pain.  My life is a kaleidoscope of colours; people, places, cultures, swirling together, and I wouldn’t change it for anything.
