Another Metaphor of Life MAG
October 14, 2008
bubbles.
god’s just a little kid
with a big bottle
of Miracle Bubbles
and a wand
dipping, blowing these
bubbles
all doomed to
pop
at one point or another.
they either drop
too fast, before
he can catch them,
or the biggest ones
pop!
before they’ve even
been launched.
it’s the little ones
that leave quietly
and take their time
gently
drifting
down
everyone leaves a mark,
you know,
but sooner or later
they’ve all evaporated.

I think the author means eventually as more of 100 to 1000 to 10000 years from now. Yeah, right now, we have family and friends who will remember us, but eventually we will fade away as individuals and be remembered collectively as people who lived __ years ago. :)

Great job. Totally understandable. Really cool way to look at life. Serious yet not so much. Awesome poem.

I loved this poem.. It is so true. Even if we do leave a mark, we do eventually fade away. This was a truly lovely poem

I really liked this. It was lighthearted, fun, and an interesting view, though I personally disagree with a person's "imprint" fading away. Life, yes. Memory, not necessarily especially not if the person is a published writer, or has done something important in history. Then again, I could be misunderstanding. Anyway, overall good job!

Just look around you and you'll see that we are more imporant than just a bubble.
