Kaleidoscopic Collage of Life

The turning wheel of time rotates the rhapsodic kaleidoscope, and the patterns perform persistently on the life’s mélange of motif. The chameleon colors transform the visage of mind’s topography into ashes of burnt barrenness, or to the verdance of emerald vale. The diffused dreams on the drift, float on the cascade of sight, meandering on the mesmeric tapestry, weaved with strands of ebullience, replicating the wings of butterflies, flittering on the ripples of spring air, and before they all fly away, form for me a fountain of fulfillment. On my tortuous lonesome travel across the greening wasteland in rains, or along the glittering garden path, lined with spring saplings bursting with colors, the shutter of my mind opens, the receptive film of sensuality captures in the kaleidoscopic collage, the sublime snapshots of beauty.

Nicely done Subimal, I was drawn to read this several times and kept reflecting on the last four lines of the final stanza. I find it to be a brilliant bit of imagery.
