Soap Bubble Fantasies
By WaryDreamer
Sometimes, fantasies can actually materialize for a moment, but dreams don't really come true.Genuine happiness is merely an elusive fantasy which manages to evade capture as it passes through time.It pauses now and then long enough to give seekers a glimpse of what to search for, but they can't reach out and grab it or it breaks.Sometimes, it will tease them by floating down and resting in their hands for a moment, before it bursts, snapping them back into realityBut even so, the cool wetness (some people call tears) left behind when it vanished reveals physical evidence that happiness was held, however briefly, and the memory of that lingers.Those thoughts are what the next fantasies and dreams are born of.mAug 1987 I know now that dreams do come true. They don't last forever, but they do come true.When dreams do become realities, they maintain their fragility of soap bubbles...But it is the MAKING of those bubbles which gives value to their existence. m Written December 3rd, 2001 © on Dec 02 2001 04:07 PM PST 0 • 8
