Lava Lamp

Transfixing, Transversing, Transpiring,
The imagination.
Intoxicating, Enlightening, Engaging,
The mind.
The wax bubbles float lazily,
Appearing so free,
Yet still trapped in their glass prison.
They captivate the eyes,
Captivate your thoughts,
Grabbing your awareness.
Metaphorically they represent our lives,
We believe we are free,
Yet we are trapped in our own prisons,
Drudging our lives away,
Just so we can live an existence,
That we don't have time to enjoy.
