The Soulful Atom

I see the soap bubble man..
As he displays his ware
Sticky and bright..
With substance unlike the rainbow
And yet with its colors and ability to vanish..
He displays his ware to eager children and adults all the same..
I take one packet and he smiles..
Eyes twinkling bright..
They intimidate me and yet comfort me all the same!
As i walk away and tun back to see,
He blows through his pipe a stream of sticky bright bubbles..
I watch in awe and walk home overwhelmed..
Over the days i blow out many..
Some tiny some large and some just about normal..
One fine day i pick up with pipe and create a large one..
Its strong and clear and i call it love..
I watch its progress dumbfounded..
This creation which i never intended..!
Its pretty and brings me tons of joy..
But then suddenly it breaks into much small ones..
They become darker and echo noise..
Harsh noise as they bounce off the walls of my house..
I can't burst them and can't get rid of them in any way!
Scared i try to blow out the larger one again.. But it just won't come..
Mortified i hurry back to soap bubble man..
And he smiles.. A knowing kind smile..
And i'm put at ease instantly..
I ask him for a new pack..
But he says- "You get only one my child"
I'm stunned i blabber out all that happened...
I cry, I beg..
But he smiles benignly- "Its only one each my child. You've to go back and put it right. You'll get it, perhaps slowly. They will be all clear and colorful and bright. But you have to keep trying.."
He smiled and faded away into his soap bubbles..
It was him.. :)
