Another Metaphor of Life MAG
October 14, 2008
bubbles.
god’s just a little kid
with a big bottle
of Miracle Bubbles
and a wand
dipping, blowing these
bubbles
all doomed to
pop
at one point or another.
they either drop
too fast, before
he can catch them,
or the biggest ones
pop!
before they’ve even
been launched.
it’s the little ones
that leave quietly
and take their time
gently
drifting
down
everyone leaves a mark,
you know,
but sooner or later
they’ve all evaporated.

Maybe we are bubbles, simply because we're supposed to move out of the way for more bubbles to come along. And what happens if you have to many bubbles? They all pop.

I completely agree about how you can drift down and just pop!

This piece was really understandable. It had good entries like "sooner or later they've all evaporated" and it was easy to follow.

This is beautiful, heartfelt, and also, as you said, lighthearted. It has a very rarely thought about message, and it certainly inspires thoughts of how life is not endless and everything ends up "popping" at one poit or other. Please write more poems like this!
