I watched a bubble float into the air, <br />Shining its translucent colours so fine-spun. <br />Then others followed along its thoroughfare, <br />Rising up into the heavens, one by one. <br /> <br />So dainty in their form, the winds dictate <br />Their every move, as climbing high they swirl. <br />Where are they to go, when will they disintegrate? <br />These globes of rainbow hues, all lined with pearl. <br /> <br />Wonderful creations each one like a silken sphere, <br />Formed by an Angel’s sweet and tender dreams, <br />Their delicate forms are glimpsed as organza sheer, <br />These orbs of gossamer, gliding on bright sunbeams.<br /><br />Ernestine Northover<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/so-fine-spun/
