Life In a Snow Globe

Gentle   
                                   snow falls softly
                         sailing on a nonchalant breeze.
                   Angels appear at the behest of playful 
                   children as layers grow on railings and 
                        rooftops. Stalwart evergreens
                             sway to a rhythm while
                                the swirling vortex 
                 of flakes smothers everything. Calm hits 
                and we breathe relief until the next shake
                 of this globe in the winter that won’t end.

Thanks so much Jennifer; we have had a white winter and now that snow is turning into flood waters. Can't win with Mother Nature, lol. Have a great day.

Your poem expresses the never ending winter so many have had to endure with a tease of a warm day popping up, only to be smothered in snow once again. I loved this Phillip. Congratulations on your win! : )
