Phil Capitano Poet Shape

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.
