I caught a glimpse of regret

in my soap bubble life:

Devaluing bases of my mind

With hardly a relief in sight:

Up! and away it hovered over me

Always escaping my mortal reach

like feather-weight bulb of insight

brow-beaten by the throbs of time

But I couldn't look it in the face

And indefensibly gave myself away! 

Ever quietly the fickle wind softly sighing 

Placed the unrelenting regret into my hands

Like a floating agony, my soap bubble life,

Freewheeling upon its slippery back.

amidst the awful lies of love's blunders,

Swayed against th'caution of care.

Divorced from all significance, I must testify 

To whatever doom, at my own trial.

built from premature faith, that twists. 

Surely, I cannot ever hope to be

a better man than exists today.

swallowing the years, in some secure cell.

"Ah, then, bubble" it's the one thing that lasts.

It'll keep my name, ever failing to understand.
