Blowing Bubbles
BLOWING BUBBLES
Little girl watching in glee
blowing soap- bubble
with little trouble:
In air, airy balls to flee.
Thin tiny balls flowing free
The girl blows abrupt.
Too shortly to burst.
Row of foamy balls in spree.
The filmy balls float in stream:
Transparent show
reflecting rainbow
'Child' sinks in delighted dream.
' Old' watches with long sigh
Iife- long treasures blown
Nothing are now shown.
Hollow bubbles get dry to fly.
Once created desired balls.
Time has chewed to gulp
Scheduled hours are up.
Life to transcend on last call.
All achievements turned obsolete
Now life looks meaningless
Once seemed most peerless.
Now to leave and each to delete.
Whether you build a large empire
or make foamy bubbles little
Both arre salient and brittle
Sure to decay and to expire.
