Weightless

We float in bubbles, you and I,
We bounce against each other.
We dance together, you and I,
Dancing on a carpet of air.

Floating, gliding, living, loving,
How light is our existence!
No white clouds on our horizon,
No black storms that threaten.

Yet between us lies this film,
this veneer of transparency.
I wonder at times how it would feel
to prick this, our very own destiny.

Will we sink, as we must,
Or will we stay afloat?
Will our closeness grow and grow
Or will it melt like warmed snow?
