Thousands of raindrops falling
are like tiny clear crystals
jewels upon my window
where I see
my life unfold in mirrored images
a kaleidoscope of dismal greys
not yet transformed
into rainbows
of colors
not yet penetrating my soul
the very spirit of my being
collecting like shattered glass
beneath my feet
my life will transform into something
manifest as colored prisms within
the kaleidoscope’s hidden
brilliant colored
light
a revelation of a loving heart
long sleeping inside the pain
of living in fear of knowing
of feeling alive
for as the images change amongst
the shards of broken glass
they must also within
the turning kaleidoscope
of colors
images change in all Seasons
spring flowers bloom abundantly
tender leaves of bright green unfurl
birdsong and insects serenade
summer dry and hot in all manner
relishing a soothing drink of water
touching landscapes brown to then
bringing fall’s brilliant colors
of reds, golds, yellows and orange
foliage turning brown and brittle
welcoming cold of winter
so spring returns to flourish
to bring life new yet already
here thriving beneath the safety
the warmth of moss and soil
always living in
hibernation
so all is alive within my spirit
hidden within smoldering embers
waiting to emerge
relishing the
breath of life
