Russell Sivey Poet Free verse

Compliments of a Floating Bubble

They carry my sorrows away
Through the tiniest of spheres
Dip the wand deep into the soap
Blow the bubbles into the air
There go the sorrows floating up
Flying through the currents around
Playing peek-a-boo with anyone
Trying to get away, they go higher
Till all at once…POP…they burst
And so does my sorrows with them
I’m finally in a state of true joy
Complements of a floating bubble

Russell Sivey
