"The Life of a Bubble"

Shimmering, iridescent beauty,
captured within the confines
of the perfect orb.

Weightless and carefree,
floating from one fantasy land to another,
without a care in the world.

Sunlight reflecting across
the soap-slicked surface,
explodes into a magical prism
of light and grace.

Buffeted about at the whim of
Nature's winds and currents.
No restrictions on space or time.

Only a good head wind,
and a softly spoken prayer
for the absence
of rain.
