Bubble bath

I’m dancing along the surface
A slipping, straightening, then balancing again
I think it’s possible that it looks like dancing
In that case, it is.

It’s fun and exhilarating
Slippery, which makes it fast
But I’ve got a kind of reigns on the out of control
Or so I think, sometimes.

Big, translucent and shiny
They can be deceptive that way
Because you never quite know
Whether you’re seeing a reflection or straight through to the other side

I like the feeling of standing on top as a brand new mass rises
And lifts me up
And up!
It’s big and proud and rising on up! Because it’s kind of precocious
(…and doesn’t know its days are numbered!)
Of course, it disappears fairly silently
And down!
Sometimes I want to plunge all the way through
And just fall, then sink.

But there’s another below, and I’m dancing along the surface amid the rise and fall.
