She twists her face
into a mask expressing
extreme pain or joy -
or both.
Just as I like to do
when (silently) singing,
lost in a bubble shaped
by my favourite tunes.
I look away,
and capture the moment.
In the shower, or anywhere else where you may feel like you are alone, I'm sure you are doing what I regularly do at these moments as well: sing your heart out. Maybe sometimes even pretending you are on a stage in a full stadium. Or theatre. Or the local club. And doing that, you might, like me, pretend you are really feeling all the emotions the song you may feel. Sometimes, also like me, you might loose yourself in a public place, imagining you are safe, forgetting your bubble is not as private as you maybe want it to be.
In the train this morning, a lady was doing precisely that. So I captured it in a poem.
Which songs do you love to sing in your bubble?
