Hope Bubble


A bubble of hope in a sea of endless still water stands out like a beacon flaring with all its might, attracting attention from everywhere. It's as if millions of signboards and arrows have been erected to point towards its location. It becomes unnoticeable, and can be seen from far off, even with poor eyesight. It stands out like a sore thumb against the stillness and dreary solitude all around. And even when it will pop due to some disturbance, the sound will be echoed, bounding from every surface imaginable. The sound will linger and resound in the air until it dies, making sure it washes over everything else, clearing away the residue.
This bubble is my hope bubble. It's so delicate and fragile, yet so beautiful and radiant like the sun. It's warmth and glow is so over-whelming that considering it's tiny structure, it still manages to make a difference. The bubble is transparent; so naive and see-through. The dreams which float around in it are not rational or practical. They are just figments of imagination, with a sprinkle of reality and the best results mixed together. The transparency reflects the colours of the rainbow, and signifies a bright, colourful future, filled with happiness. The light, airy texture keeps it away from the worries of the world. It has no regard for the problems or the obstacles to be faced. It exists for itself and itself only. This is the extra-ordinary nature of hope, which flares bright in each heart like a flame, but can be symbolised by a bubble.
The beauty of the bubble also exists in its destruction. If it's popped or pricked with a sharp needle or pointy edge, it will burst and cause hurt that will be hundred times more epic than the bubble's complexity. The sharp object can be symbolised with pride, envy, gluttony, and greed. In short, most of the seven deadly sins. The fragile nature of the bubble makes it entirely too sensitive against such things. And as it's a beacon and a sparkler, it causes such things to affect it more, attracting them significantly. Yet, even if it's popped, another bubble can appear after a while, a bit stronger and more beautiful than the previous expired one. It's knows its obstacles and hurdles, so it will try to avoid them because it does not aspire to have an unfortunate existence like the one of it's passed away kin. It burns brighter than ever, giving out the radiance of extra-ordinary levels, letting everyone know to not despair, because the hope bubble yet still lives.
