Kaleidoscope Reality

by Rula Shin


The dull echoes reverberate in my skull
Like a cosmic game of ping pong
Bursts of kaleidoscope thoughts bounce
Scattering visions of color, an ordered chaos

Moments unlived wail against the wind
Bedlam observes order with uncertainty
Opining on the necessary arrangement
Myriad realities whispering
Kaleidoscope reflections, paradoxical
Logically absurd

I love this line: "Moments unlived wail against the wind." It brings a shudder.

The kaleidoscope enjoyed again in your wonderfull words Rula. "Logically absurd" and excellent...

Very reflective of my own life, like looking into that coloured tube and turning it round and round...easily makes one dizzy. Ordered chaos for sure!

This little piece of your depicts the world we live in, within as well without, a world of chaos but subject to laws, existing on different levels, meaning differently on different layers, reflecting what is seen and reflected, fractured in space and time, fracturing us into many pieces. There is one who does see this bedlam helplessly, realizing this kaleidoscopic reality, the producer of this brilliant piece.

Very thought provoking- loved the entire piece- especially the last 2 lines. Great work!

I love rereading this. Every line is a rich message.

To me this shines in colors of regret and could have beens. Thoughts we all struggle with. The human condition in color.

there is much to glean from this poem, beyond the sheer creativity and elegance, there is also this notion that if I were a piano these words would be tinkling o'er me like Duke Ellington.
