By Eric Maximiliano Castro
You were a bubble in the air
rainbow colored
surrounded by joy
and many arms outstretched to catch you
And you,
whimsical,
floating without exact direction
round,
prefect,
bright,
transparent,
ethereal,
admired,
desired.
Looking at you
how I loved you too
how I loved you by touching you
