Once there was an ocean
A bright blue ocean
That shone shimmering gold
As its waves crested and fell
And the bubbles danced with joy
➰
Then a bubble grew bigger
And gathered other big bubbles
We’re not bubbles they cried
We’re a cluster of bubbles
And they rose to the top of the waves
And flew off into the bright sky
➰
Higher thy flew
Towards the burning sun
Which turned them to steam
Which cooled
And they fell and fell
Landing on the single bubbles
Who were dancing below
Together
➰
It’s good to be a part
Of something
It’s better still
To belong
To something
Real
➰
