Bubbles in my Hair
By Ruth Calder Murphy (Arciemme)
Bubbles here, bubbles there,
bubbles, bubbles in my hair;
they fizz and foam inside my brain
then burst or float away again.
There inside my head they’re born,
bright and colourful they form,
take me with them as they rise
up and out, beyond the skies.
Out to where the planets spin
and distant stars are heard to sing,
where velvet darkness fills the space
between each far-off, shining place.
Then back to blue-green earth I fly
and see the bubbles multiply -
Foaming from my busy brain
they take me with them once again.
Bubbles here, bubbles there,
colour bursting everywhere,
All around my head they rise,
up my nose and in my eyes,
They take me with them, far away
where daydreams dance and prance and play.
Bubbles, bubbles everywhere.
I love those bubbles in my hair.
