Bubble Dreams

I climbed a moonlit bubble to touch the midnight sky
slipped into tie dyed memories of carefree days gone by.

I bathed inside the prisms of soapy bubble dreams
and floated through a tranquil, iridescent scene.

I flung the baggage of reality over the crescent moon
embraced visions of utopia and began my life anew.

I exited excuses to experience ecstasies of hope
hunted truth like a monk on a mission to meet the pope.

I soared upon a seagull's wings to hear a sailor's song
euphoric in my jubilee while dolphins sang along.

I touched the outer edges of a sunburst flame
spread sparks of love to everyone on that enchanted day.

Enchanting, to dream a dream of bubbles. Then let them carry you away to Utopia where you start your life anew. To spread love and happiness as Utopians do. Never soared on a seagulls wing but have heard the dolphins sing. Twas one stop before paradise, Malta a small island with such a big heart. Sadly now a distant memory, but it was not by choice we had to part. Your poem a fantasy flash fiction at its best, up there in 1st place a winner with the best, congratulations Laura... Mick
