Lava Lamp

Here’s me trying to be poetically abstract.

Up, down

Up and down

Twirling downward

Billowing out

Rising up

Like an atomic cloud

Bubbling higher

Sinking low

Falling, falling

Drip dropping

Rising up

Like a snake

Breaking off

Into smaller spheres

Hovering at the top

Slowly sliding down

Swimming up

Like a giant serpent

Then off with his head

It falls slowly

And then is reborn

An endless cycle

Of destruction and rebirth

Wisps go up

Blobs streak down

Form always changing

Never ceasing

Till the light goes out
