Wash hands, and return wet bar of soap
To the dish — and suddenly a brilliant
Violet pinhead-light starts to glow
Underneath it!

The spark shines steady, slowly
Shifting through the spectrum —
Blue, green, yellow, orange —
Pick up the soap, and
Abruptly it's gone.

What could it have been?
Perhaps a bubble,
Catching the light,
Perfectly aligned to be seen.

What a marvelous Universe we share!
