A Poem a Day (211): See-through


See-through

Like blowing marble,
Silk bubbles poke,
Winking in jelly,
Wallowing outward.
Such delicate things
Hold the world inside.

Stripped colours bleed
A living prism.
Translucent skin
Spins on air,
Leaning on nothing
Except the breeze.

Like blowing dandelions,
Heads splitting
To spread small seeds
In the millions.

This cloud of dust,
Yellow-white gold,
Caresses my fingers
To whisper to me
This journey of life,
Bringing and leaving.
A dance of reflection,
Lingering on air.
