Tiny tiny
Bubble of silver
Beautiful in the half light
Caught for a fleeting moment
In the rays of the sun
Adrift
Spiralling upwards
Towards the light
Air bubbles
Tiny bubbles of air
Escaping from the void below
In each a word
A single word
Perhaps
‘Hello’
But more likely
‘Drowning’
Travelling silently
Until
Finally
They reach the surface
And
Burst!
Without a sound
Lost
Among the waves
Silent words
Silenced
