Kaleidoscope Lands

 

I feel invisible,
standing silently with my head tucked
under one of the great waves of lace cascading from the walls. 
The light from the wall lamps tingling through the material, the room cut
into tiny diamonds. I lean forward a little, the lace fluttering
under my breath like a moth in the breeze,
tickling my nose and cheeks.

Thousands
of rooms peep through the holes, 
all perfect diamond-shaped miniatures of the one I am in.
 I like to imagine they are all different rooms, in different houses, in different Worlds all apparently identical but with tiny subtle differences. If I concentrate hard enough
on just one of them,when I lift the lace I will be
 in one of those Kaleidoscope
Lands.



Just a short one today - love the picture though so I may have to come back to it and extend it!

  1. You really captured the magic of a kaleidoscope. I know just what you mean - 'thousands of rooms peep ...' I love the way you have captured the experience of light. Jaggystar
