Kaleidoscope Life - a collaboration with WillowsWhimsies
cut glass images
wildly shimmering
moments captured in still life
distorted & magnified
who were we
in that freeze frame flash?
a girl full of dreams
eyes blindingly bright
chasing hope & mysteries
hopscotch...buttercups...
daisies in her hair
is she in there somewhere?
a woman with scars
gazing up at the stars
reminiscing on her youth
snapshot recollections
lost in the scramble
as the view continues to spin
what do you see
when you look within...
a girl woman born
carrying love
on her sleeve
battle worn
hope on repeat
looking through eyes
that won’t accept defeat
an observer of
beautiful things
mysteries, dreams
she now chooses
what the day brings
it’s
all
right
there…
the enigmatic force of a hurricane
the halo of a perfectly cut diamond
the hue of a double rainbow
the dew on a morning glory
the hallowed glow of candlelight
tho expansion of air at a mountain top
the lacy white edge of a cloud
the dancing drops of rain
beauty in motion
can you see it?

YEEESSS! Both of you have been on these self discovery journeys, and to see two beautiful forces of nature redefine beauty?
(CHEF'S KISS)
OMG, it's so good.
You two are wonderful together, and I love the empowering message, and the self love.

Thanks, girl.
We’re walking the same path. She’s another fanfreakingtastic site sister. The DUP. sisterhood, what would I do without it?

Firstly, I love that you didn't use different fonts to differentiate the individual voices. To me that interrupts the flow of the reading. I can honestly say that I'm not really certain who wrote what. Every time I think I do; I then think I'm wrong. And I didn't google or search for the 2021 poem because frankly, I don't want to know! Secondly, the imagery of this is intriguing, or perhaps 'timeline' is a better option. Girl, woman, girl woman. . .and the imagery accompanying the timeline is something every girl, woman, and girl woman should be able to relate to.
Well done.
Well done.
