A Bubble

This is one of my favorite poems I have ever written :)

They float around
blowing with the wind.
Swirls of rainbows
through the translucent spheres.
Reflections of happy faces
grinning with delight.
Suddenly they are children again
if only for a couple minutes.
An elixir of instant happiness,
smiles in a bottle.
circling around bodies
bobbing up and down.
So easily popped,
yet invincible to sadness.
Fragile, unbreakable,
pointless, meaningful.
A true Kodak moment
as a breath of air
creates such a beautiful moment,
a wondrous thing.
For babies, children,
teens, adults
all joining together
in this common interest.
A bubble.
And then suddenly it's gone
it's disappeared into the unknown.
One second it is flying,
the next it is dead.
A life consisting
of only several seconds.
But a life with a meaning,
a life with a purpose.
Because in those few seconds,
that rainbow ball created a smile
and it made everything good again
if only for a moment.
