Kaleidoscope

I watch my shadows as I walk this earthly path.
Ever changing as the moon follows the sun.

And though I travel far and wide.
I see hands extended in friendship. 

My shadow falls on whispers passing by.
As I walk this Kaleidoscope of highways.

I see you shed a tear, and I wipe it clear.
So the sun can shine for you again.

I see that my world remains beautiful to me.
Even when there are dark clouds around me.

No, I shall not sink to the lowest form.
Moonlight carries me forever forward.

Even with my shadow, part light, part dark.
I'm but a shadow within this earthly realm.

Thoughts become things yes? Beleave in a beautiful world and that is what you will find. Beautiful people in a beautiful world even as someone standing right beside you sees something else . It is all mental work to become we are looking for. Likes attract.

Deep thoughts, eloquently spoken. Can we all be to one another, brothers and sisters from the same realm?

Great imagery. I enjoyed the mix of kaleidoscopes and shadows. Your last couplet sorta reminded me of a quote I heard awhile back... “We are all visitors to this time, this place. We are just passing through. Our purpose here is to observe, to learn, to grow, to love... and then we return home." - Aboriginal Proverb.
