Written: June 26, 2023 ______________________________________________________________ In this vast realm of treacheries untamed, Where existing accessories are named, No spry remedies to heal the soul's plight. We're left to wander through the darkest night. But what's passed speaks through memories so true, A reflection of the things we once knew, Recall them as we dearth, with a twist. Inserting our frame of mind, we insist. Such as a kaleidoscope, time spins and turns. Revealing the colors of all that we've learned, Each moment is a fragment, a piece of the whole. A tapestry woven within our souls. The past is a canvas for us to explore. A treasure-trove of emotions galore, But what lens shall we exert to view it unfold? Which perspective will we screen to behold? Shall we adjust the lens with a gentle touch? To focus on joy, the moments we cherish much? Or twist it with force to magnify pain. And wallow in sorrow again and again? Perhaps we'll skew the lens to create a haze. And blur the memories that our hearts cannot face. The kaleidoscope of time holds the key. To shape our past as we wish it to be. So let us embrace this power we hold. To mold our history and to be bold. In the kaleidoscope of time, We control the narrative and the rhyme. Let us paint a picture of love and delight. Of triumph and courage, shining so bright. With each twist and turn, we can redefine The tapestry of our lives is so divine.

If only we could control and manipulate life as we can do with a Kaleidoscope. Turning till the dark colours fall away leaving only the bright ones on view! An exceptional poem SP your words grace the page as butter enhances bread. Every bite enjoyable, until the last morsel. Enjoyed immensely. A fave from me.

"Shall we adjust the lens with a gentle touch? To focus on joy, the moments we cherish much? Or twist it with force to magnify pain. And wallow in sorrow again and again?" That's what we generally do, wallowing in sorrow. It is all a matter of adjusting the lens. So philosophic and so beautifully rhyming!
