Bubbles
Many bubbles attached
to each other
Like a chain of mail
or a gathering of
adolescent girlfriends
Each complete within itself
some floating free
most huddled together
Ah, such are our lives!
See the rainbows?
for all our sustenance
Warm colors gusting past
and falling on heads
drifting into the corners
softening rigid lines
In the circle of community
each is held up
surrounded by soft edges
and warm colors
Like leaves, we drift
to fill in gaps with love
and support for each other…
