Inspired by the Buddhist philosophy of non-being, of nowhere-ness...


Life is just a Bubble

Life is just a bubble
One day it will burst...

But, before it does
I am a bubble
Full of air
Floating about
Without a care

Breaking sunrays
into rainbow-
Being soaked in all
the colours of life...

Life, care free, bright...

Life is just a bubble
One day it will burst:

Releasing the air-
I will be nowhere...

Life is just a bubble...

Floating
Waiting
To burst...
