BUBBLES OF EXISTENCE

Bubbles 2

To each his bubble
to each his colour
to view through a happy rose
or a suspicious grimy grey
Some do burst bubbles
with sly and shameless glee
Others blow them up
with joyous abandon
Some exist but for a moment
others scatter hither-tither
as whimsy dictates, this way and that
Yet others glide effortlessly
neither do resist nor exert,
their importance upon others
their iridescent luminescence
content to just Be
In the here and now

and Forever…

    Dear Anjali,

    What a very lovely poem this is! We humans, all with our unique paths in and through this world, do have our own bubbles. We are our own bubbles.

    This all brings to mind the space in which the bubbles seem in exist. This space is something quite special. Bubbles float, bump, merge, bust, and more. And the spaciousness remains.

    Thank you very much for this!

    All good wishes,

    robert

      Your comment is so eloquent Robert – the bit about ‘the space’ containing it all, especially resonates with me. Thank you for always visiting!

  2. What a beautiful poem Anjali. A euphemistic poem that could aptly be used to describe so many areas of life!

  4. Bubbles, yes we have played with many times and we do enjoy the randomness and the free flow…never had I ever looked into it the way you have captured the mystical interaction of bubbles into a metaphor of life…so true and so much it reflects of the changing facets of life. Beautiful poem!!!

    –Oh yes, yes, yes, this is how I want to be. I pray that I may live this as reality.

  7. Dimensions of reality seem to form in bubble like structures of energy – perhaps even the multi-dimensions that physics predicts are actually bubbles of energy manifesting into realities – perhaps we even are individually bubble of a reality of our own – a multidimensional shared reality.
