Reflection of Joy

The turning wheel of transient time rotates life’s rhapsodic kaleidoscope, and creates enchanting patterns prime, crafted by mélange of mesmeric hope. Contrived chameleon colors transform the visage of mind’s vast topography into ashen wasteland ravaged by storm, or into a glistening emerald valley. The rootless diffused dreams adrift, float in the cascade of fantasy sight, the shroud from misty vision they lift, fashioning a beguiling vista of delight. I have been flying on butterfly wings, flittering in rippling air out of distress, before it could fly away beyond spring, forms for me the tapestry of happiness. I have traveled lonesome in sunny days, across the greening wilderness in shine, or along the glittering garden pathways, lined with spring saplings in hued vine. Mind’s canvas turns into memory montage, as the receptive consciousness free of strife, configures bliss in the kaleidoscopic collage, I see the reflection of joy in the mirror of life. ________________ May 7, 2022 Contest : In The Mirror Of Life Sponsored by : Anoucheka Gangabissoon
