Soothing Kaleidoscope
Written: February 10, 2025 For Brian Strand Contest
***********************
In the tempestuous shadows
of my soulful sphere
I squirm in sorrow.
I was wandering through whimsical woods,
alive with hues and aromatic herbs.
Yearning for a soothing serum,
for my katabatic spirit.
The earth reverberates with heartfelt echoes.
as beneath the embroidery of my core,
bleeding brilliant colors onto celestial heights,
wrestling with the shimmering sheen of
love's embrace amidst the turmoil.
My soul swirls in a simmering
cauldron of desires.
Colliding with constellations and orbs at dusk,
cradling the cardinal grief
Like a potent elixir, meticulously
concocted by the cosmos.
Through thick fogs and dusky dimness,
I craft my treasured dreams.
into the breathing bounds,
Wishing to mend the mighty
fissures in life's lofty ledges
with clarity and compassion.
Wretched waves wail.
within me as
I whisper weary woes,
chaotic cries cascade.
in a cosmos that's both
constant and concealed.
I am a heart hungering.
to heal from this havoc,
Searching for serenity.
in soothing scents,
strolling beneath moons
touched by tranquil tones,
Yearning for peace.
Love and loss are my sovereigns.
Crowning me in thistles.
and tints of myrrh
The sun's wrathful gaze
paints my sorrows crimson;
Earth and soul collaborate.
in this eternal quest
for meaning.
In the smoky caress of
eucalyptus groves,
I weep a kaleidoscope of
human feelings—
I'm aching for connection.
yearning for understanding
amidst the storms.
Would that my heart
could seal these wounds
in ink as deep as oceans,
as calm as moonlit cliffs.
