Bubbles, Bubbles....

~ impatiently waiting ~

 

 

Reflections appear a little bit misty

in a half filled champagne glass

 

sweet on my lips

             but not quite clear

as tiny bubbles tease my reality

 

Still…

my foot is tapping impatiently

as the silver ball waits in the sky

             to hear the well intentioned

but never really quite achieved resolution

tickling my senses

                 yet growing flatter

        as the tomorrow’s trickle away

                       (kind of like these bubbles)

 

The silver ball is waiting…

 

       Happy New Year

I've had this in my RR list since New Years and I've finally had the opportunity to leave a review. I had tears in my eyes reading this...this piece just struck a chord with me. The voice and personality of this poem doesn't get a whole lot of attention...but mine is here in spades. Awesome work Julie, it's going in my library :)

Intelligently done! Those bubbles do make a sound to remember...wonder how many folk wished on a bubble and as it fizzled, their dreams came true lol
Happy New Year hon x

"tiny bubbles tease my reality" LOVE this line. But it is sad how often we leave the silver bell waiting for us to accomplish our resolutions. Bubbles slowly fading.

[MsJewel]

Sad, yes..but reality. Good intentions and what not I guess...
Happy New year
Hugs, Julie

[R. L. Hill]

Reality only if we let it be. Happy New Year, dearest.

Yes, good intentions do seem to pop and fade away right after the ball drops in Times Square.....we start off with a clean slate and it does not take long for us to muck it up! LOL No need to rush that ball in Times Square though...it will fall when the time is right and we certainly do not need to wish our lives away, do we? This is cute, Julie. Lydi**

[MsJewel]

You are so right Lydi...time flies by much too quickly as it is.
Thanks for the great comment. I'm glad you enjoyed this one.
Hugs, Julie
