Bubbles form inside,

Rising to the top

Simply effervescent,

Until you hear a pop

The energy of a toddler

Effortless and free

Identical to caffeine

Which sometimes buoys me

Ready, set, run away

Into the great beyond

Nothing ventured nothing lost

Except lyrics to the song

Life is an enigma

Understood by very few

I wish I could explain it,

But can’t until it’s through

For now I remind myself

Each and every day

To take the gift that’s present

Before it fades away
