Kaleidoscope

As I close my eyes
   I remember all of the colors in my mind.
That have intricately intermingled,
   Into the only one of a kind,
Swirling around out of control
   Like a masterpiece made in  heaven.

I can see all the colors of my world in front of me
   Spinning around like a watercolor dancing on ice,
Similar to colors in a rainbow that I have seen
   No just once, or twice, but more than thrice,
Just so brilliant and beautiful....
   Magenta, fuchsia, tangerine, yellow,
Jade, cobalt, and violet.
   Magnified with such intensity
Has influenced such strong feelings
   That hasmesmerized not just me,
But an entire community.

That is the kaleidoscope of my world
   Which is also fascinated by others,
But it means so much more to me;
   It is similar to the path of my life.
Because wherever I go
   And whomever I meet
Becomes a part of whom I am.

No two people can see the same rainbow.
   Not many can honestly say
That they have seen mine.
   But I will always see
The colors of my kaleidoscope.
