Bubbles

Here is one of my poems I wrote back in 2006 on a family holiday... I was reading through some of my old journals and have been positively inspired by my 2006 self - which was a unexpected, but nice surprise!


It all starts with one tiny breath
Breathing life into a fragile form
Life takes hold
And the winds bear it slowly upwards
Bobbing carefree in the breeze

But this innocent life cannot fight against the frailties
and the weakness if the capsule
It bobs a little while longer
Then disappears, instantly invisible
As if your eyes have been deceiving you

Smiling I dip the wand back into the bottle
Taking a deep breath
I wait to be entranced by another.
