Poetic musings on seeing a bubble.

De avondzon in een zeepbel / Sunset in a bubble.. by Nens Fotografie (more off than on)

Inside a Bubble.

Swirling within smooth rainbowing movement
The bubble traps time, wraps soundlessly around
Eternity and vibrates it with transient beauty.

In a small cell of restraint this mystic jailor bound
Space and minimalised it. Encased in a thin fragile
Layer of temporary skin lay movement inside which
Time stood silently still breathlessly waiting, while
I glimpsed Love held shining momentarily and fitting
Tightly in the bubbly sphere I saw life as Uncreated-
Intention, a mere potential, an idea yet in the womb.

A place before thought began lies consecrated
As future universal happenings, all entombed
Inside a glassy see-through ball, which bursting
Shows what falls is simply conception in reverse.

life is a bubble that just seems to take forever to burst....

Fay, sometimes we wrap ourselves into a sort of time warp, we fret about, we worry, we withdraw into a bubble of our own making, we shut things out, we do not allow new life to evolve for us. We are the mystic jailor of our minds. This is brilliant writing, a poem of outstanding value. I must congratulate you for this fine work. It is bookmarked of course,

the concept of time held with in the bubble and conception in reverse is mind blowing . the bubble holds everything in its convex reality and shows a picture that's framed in a rainbow...this is as vibrant as you are ...

Our world itself is just like a bubble or molecule in the whole Universe! Your bubble analysis tells the tales of life within womb about to be born! But all these things are time bound and illusionary only at the end of the day! philosophical poem kindles thought process endless! Nice indeed to muse over!

You have certainly captured a moment in time of a bubble with such a philosophical and wonderous conclusion . When I read about the love shining momentarily, I imagined a child blowing bubbles and the bubbles bursting showing such fragility. Beautifully written Fay.
