Soap Bubble Fantasies

By WaryDreamer

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

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
