Bubbles In the Water

If I knew this now or in a week’s time, pray tell me what do you know about
To be unkind is not my favorite song, rather breathe in summer air
Did you know that lies were hiding like giants on the earth
Yet happiness still lies all around you melting like wax
Into all that is broken

As you fall asleep is your heart racing, do you now cry over uprooted weeds
In years to come will reflecting, nourish your earth when you are sad
Make you soar through the heavens then circle back
To get acquainted with wondering why
One more time again

Last night you leaned upon one of those giants hiding on the earth
While searching your soul for any kind of clue you could hold
Still in the early morning, you had to start again
Because there were bubbles in the water
You thought was clear

Is it just the voice you hear in secret that you let charge in to win
So your eyes will smile when you lean low into your return
Does your world spin round in a gentler flow
Because you knew this now
Or in a week’s time

there are so many messages and hidden meanings within this one, i love it!
I love the line
Still in the early morning, you had to start again
because there were bubbles in the water
you thought was clear

reminds us that things aren't always what we thought they were, no matter how sure we think we are. fantastic job on this!

[Art Sun]

this is a nice poem to sit and reflect upon...nice writing Neva, not all is clear in life till we catch that flow and begin our return,,,

[Ravyne Hawke]

Beautifully written, Neva. I love how you bring the poem full circle with the last two lines. The images in this poem are to die for, literally. Gorgeous work.

[CalebSchadeck]

you write in a stlyle that makes me have to go back and think about the pomes meaning which is a good thing this is how poetry should work!

There is an old saying:
with age comes wisdom
and in this piece the
wisdom is bountiful....
Nicely done Neva...

Neva you are certainly a writer friend girl! We sometimes think everything is fine and then find bubbles in the water.. maybe we worry them there.. this is a very intelligent poem.. yet delicate and beautiful
A beautiful title.

I love the line did you know there were lies hiding like giants... And then later leaning on the giant. So much to digest here. A great piece that grows with contemplation. I must sleep on this and revisit tomorrow!

This really spoke to me. It has a logical flow and really makes you think. Its wonderful. Favorite lines: Did you know that lies were hiding like giants on the earth
Yet happiness still lies all around you melting like wax
Into all that is broken

Neva, this is a fantastic journey through the psyche , a surreal touch of those bubbles bursting into reality and pure feeling .
