I am a Bubble
Sometimes easily burst, other times, not.
I can linger around and just float into space, without direction
Or I can land heavily and drop onto someone for anchorage.
I can be colorful—tinges and hues of reds, pinks, blues;
Transparent, translucent, opaque.
I don’t mind being transparent for I like to be sociable.
One very special bubble-strong and firm showed me the ‘light’ to persevere and to ‘hang’ in there.
I felt love and confident to move on.
I’m flying and enjoy floating with other bubbles.
I re-explored ‘new’ horizons that were really explored previously.
Passing the time on old territory helped me see that I had total control of the situation, rather than being controlled by it.
I’m a happy bubble and have been all day.

Loved your Bubbles poem.
This is such a “floaty” poem that flows like a feather on a clear Sunday afternoon. It’s positive and upbeat. I loved it!
An interesting poem. Has enough vagueness to make me
wonder and a touch of humor to make me smile. Nicely done.
Vera, you have done it again. I think you know that I admire all your
poetry. ..this poem poem is just one more reason to validate the
beauty of the words you express and the sensitive nature of your
subjects. I love to read what you have written and it made me
happy to read your poem today. Thanks for sharing
