love under the daunting kaleidoscope by Mia Soto
for alex & mars—my Other moms
the glamorous life is what we all yearn for – one free of nance,
supported by the articial
sustained by glory
surrounded by unltered happiness.
however,
the average human doesn’t achieve a golden vida they only encounter the melancholy clouds underneath the daunting kaleidoscope,
yearning for a change.
-
i’m one of those individuals,
and believe me, i observe –
i watch as others experience that
glamorous life,
while wondering when my vida will become golden.
-
everyday, i walk with a mean stride
envy underneath the fake smile
i wear with even faker pride.
-
then came a day
where i saw a real life fairytale –
a bunch of roses,
black roses,
adorned by the scintillating winks of mother earth,
accompanied by two doves.
-
i only admired their art at rst –
those psychedelic creations that lay before me, until i looked up at those faces –
think yin and yang,
sun and moon,
complex, sophisticated love.
-
i speak to the doves,
enthralled by the sudden sentiment i gather from their stories, their words –
it was like being injected with
mystic, yet needed serum of love
that enables me to have an epiphany. -
i now feel the need to go on ‘cause of them – if they were able to triumph
through the forlorn wilderness,
is there hope for me?
can i climb those stone walls
and ring that bell
to catch the train to the
glamorous life?
i contend with the consideration,
then embrace it.
-
the following morning,
i notice the clouds evaporating,
replaced by sunshine, roses, and doves.
church bells ring,
followed by what i reckon as dialogue –
bonding, innite dialogue,
holy matrimony.
no wonder why the skies are vivid and beautiful today, under the daunting kaleidoscope.
alex and mars -
que continues
viviendo una vida
glamorosa, que tengas
prosperidad en tu arte,
abundante amor en tu matrimonio
y buena energía en tu vida.
your Other daughter,
– Mia
