Kaleidoscope

The kaleidoscope of life is turvy.

A merest nudge or jostle

Reveals bright new spectrums

Of colors, shapes and patterns

As we hold it to the sunlight

And contemplate its wonders.

A friend is like the sunshine

That lights the tumbling days with color.

 Radiant, splendid sun, now clouded,

No more sparks the crystals of my days,

Leaving only poignant memories,

Resurrecting joyful days he shone.

Now free of earthly tether,

Hastening ever to the sun.

Goodbye and Godspeed onward,

Brief mortal sojourn done.
