The Bubble.



I dreamt I was a bubble.
And I drifted into space.
My sphere forever expanding
As I left  this earthly place.
As I grew
I took a view.
There really is no trouble.
I'm just an ever growing bubble.

I really reached an immense size.
Then I popped to my surprise!
Particles glistened everywhere
Time stood still
As I watched and stared.
Then I sensed with growing clarity
Which weighed upon me
Like waves of gravity.
Realising
Something perverse.
Each tiny speck .. a Universe!
