Snow Globe Memories

Bright December sunbeam 
Dances through my frosted window
Peeks into a clear orb, 
A winter wonderland,
Sitting on my desk.

Snowstorms on demand
No weather report needed or necessary
A best friend gift
Peers back at me with memories
Living within it’s globe.

Two snowflakes,
Each unique as winter’s signature,
Rise up from a perpetual snowstorm
Ever young like our childhood
Of sleds and skates and skis
And catching snowflakes on our tongues.

A winter universe unto itself
That even the scorching summer sun
More birthday parties 
And chaotic life storms
Cannot penetrate.

This world of fantasy
And friendship thrives
Without seasons
Even when shaken.
