Of Bubbles and Babes
Copyright © By Fred Mitchell December 06, 1995

In the fleeting moments of life
A sea of familiar faces
Looking around for something to Do
Looking around for something to Be
Marking the states of the Times
So lonely and fragile
like babies on a bubble of water

I feel them all around me 

    the Humans-

      caught up in their own sadness
      fleeing from each other
      only to return
      to the forgotten love
      lost in a sea of hatred.

I feel for them all around me

    the Humans -

      there's hope in the breeze
      that drives them on
      but babies on a bubble of water
      someday to grow old and happy

For now

    the Humans -

      lost on ethereal breezes of chaos
      like ants in the sand in search of the Great Cube
      little babies without a mom
      little magic without a wand

        ants on a tree
        to Destinations Unknown
        assured of success ill gotten
        at the edge of the zone

I feel the planet blue

    the Hope

      tiny improvements eons race
      knowledge and philosophy
      love and poetry
      with eyes flowing the tears

        all the lost years
        spent in panic and fear
        unknown and the queer
        wherein paths were clear

          but like babies on a bubble
          out of control, mercy of wind
          swirling eddies and turbulent flow
          could not see or sense the way

I know the planet blue

    the Way

      even babes grow old and wise
      in the course of Time
      even trees grow old

        leaves drop off and sail
        ants hitching rides
        across blue horizons
        in search of the Great Cube

      in Time all will be understood
      all knowledge and philosophy
      love and poetry

        Converge

          a scintillating existence the eye
          extant baby breaks the bubble, becomes a child
          grows very old and happy

            for he understands
            for she loves
            for they walk hand in hand, the little ones

              to the very edge
              of Life.
