Utopia and the Soap Bubble

Utopia and fairyland bliss,
    my soap bubble has blown a kiss-
Shangri-La and earthly heaven,
            blowing soap bubbles since I was seven.

Freedom and a reawakening of life in the 
greatest degree has given me clarity with 
       less responsibility. 
I’ve been to Mt. Zion a time or two 
and had trust of dreams coming true. 
           I believe in utopia- 
a place where no pain can be found. 
   I trust in the way the earth rotates 
as the axis spins around. 
In the final moment of my life will be a 
           bubble made of soap, 
messy and slimy giving me nothing but hope. 
A kingdom of wonder 
without rain or roaring thunder- 
      a land of milk and honey without 
the worry of wealth or money. 
           A safe haven for all to live, 
with everyone willing to give- 
   a home with plenty of health 
and more for you and less
                       need for yourself. 

As a child, I had a dream, reality so it seemed- 
I laid on the grass and rubble, blowing big and
          round soap bubbles. 
In my dream, I danced and pranced- 
           I played and stayed in the garden of Eden, 
I made sand castles  and my soul’s desires 
       did deepen. 
I needed not material things-
   diamonds or fancy rings, 
but embraced the childlike feeling and held 
                  onto the intense healing. 

Freedom comes from the beauty within, 
      desire comes from your sweet soul- 
Utopia… a magical place without sin,
blowing soap bubbles...
               in a paradise to behold.
