A kaleidoscope

Poems written in the 80s

A kaleidoscope
Changing from time to time
Beauty that’s beyond our reach
And destruction is but a step away

Gazing
What once was Asgard
Dew of tears
Hanging on each scrubs
Dancing happily
Glitters under the moon rays
As the sun arises
Its power exercised
The dew vanishes

Paintings of heaven
Story of the past
A variety of display
An interpretation of the mind

One can see the greenery around
Mountains,
Reaching the skies
Displaying their strength and wisdom
Yet, lost in battle
Lost to the mist and fog that conquers
They lay down their claim
South wind blew
Announcing its forth coming
Mightier than ever
But gentle at heart
As it whisper a message
A message of love
Peace and content
Lost in time

Suddenly!
A loud clash
Thor hammers away
Sending sparks of lights
Across the heaven above
Showers in on its way

A change in the kaleidoscope
Shock to see
The display of modern architecture
Dark and ugly
Grow like mushrooms after the rain
Monotonous
Still and lifeless
Replacing all beauty
Yet to the rich and famous
Glamour and glory
Pollution, stress and disease
Fill the air
Deep down its crying
For beauty was lost
Lost forever
Never to be replaced

A nation’s hope
For a better tomorrow is shattered
For the future generations
Can only see
The display of destruction
The other side of the kaleidoscope
Ponder then
Which side of the kaleidoscope you would rather see?
