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 Entrant into Debbie Guzzi's "Bubbles" contest!
