My Soap Bubble
I quote,
as someone once wrote...
The only consistancy in life is inconsistancy.
Warm light shines bright
a contrast from surrounding dark.
From within my spherical delight
beaming His mark.
My walls of crystalline perfection.
My glycerin will shimmering gossamer.
Long have I hammered out my protection
in the comfort of a neverending summer.
All along falling fast
in an tumultuous artic flurry.
My strong bubble will outlast!
I proclaim that I shall not worry!
Twisting, turning, swirling, whirling about.
Surely my hard work will prove true!
But I began to fret and I began to doubt.
That's when I began to think of you.
You gave me your light in our trade.
Weightless and pure-my final touch was found!
I gave you my dirt and it was made...
...you left with a warning-safety was on solid ground.
But I'd done that! And I'd been there.
It was never safe, I was hurt and it was tough.
I didn't like such a scare
So into the air-I was off in a puff!
Still my bubble fell to the ground...I thought I was prepared
Until all around me it shattered.
Safe at last I declared!
Soild ground now seemed to be all that mattered
but looking around-back on the ground! I became scared.
I looked up and I cried
Sweet safety is all that I seek
Suddenly, thousands of bubbles I eyed
each little button with a light so bleak.
Such a cherished beautiful light,
full of safety and warmth so true.
How dare they hide that from sight!!!
It's magic now seemed so new.
Was safety what I really desired?
I wanted His light to be shared.
My heart fully filled-I was inspired.
It seemed nothing else could be compared.
A plan to share and show I conspired
For anything else I no longer cared
Simply to accept His light is all that is required.

hi jen
i liked the profile information u hve shared with us....it was unusual and interesting....and that acceptance of i am me is what really counts...
i also liked this poem....if you have given an expression to your experience then you are surely on a journey and He IS with you...
Well read...on both counts. Thank you for your input.
Most of my poems are usually much sillier but this one was reflective of current events in my life and the lives of those closely tied to me. You are SO right everyday is our journey.
