look-alikes except for size

born of playful moments

how much alike they are to us!

fragile individuals

swayed by invisible forces

upon a closer look

revealing hidden beauty

each one its own configuration

of red and blue swirls

unique in time and space

some will meet and merge into one

some will meet and burst into nothingness

some will disappear after a short span

and some will endure

bobbing, floating, cruising

finally settling on earth

to cease.

we don't know when or why.
