Pinpricked
The bubble leaks its charmed air
Ssss
Ssss
Ssss
Begins to collapse
Twists
Turns
The magic of the spell is broken
As the elasticity of this gift
Crystallizes
With each outflow
Hardens
Contaminated
By doubt
Indecision
Blunt reality
Fears
So the bubble bursts
Dissolves
Disappears
Becomes a memory
Of a pathway never taken
Another might have been world
Never explored
Dream trumping reality
Wins another round
