Snow Globes
Taking hold of this very instant, filled with its tears and joys of the here and now....
Placing them all within snow globes, to preserve their wonders and their lives
Upon the shelves of these times, wherein they lived, loved and.dreamed
To glance upon them all someday, winding the key, unto their musical notes
That they may shine once again, these reflections, if even but for a moment
Snowflakes floating, as they twirl within the waters, to disappear upon the ground
Beneath the piles and the mounds, of the days of their lives, their, once upon a times....
A vague silhouette of images, within this thickened glass
As you peer up closely, and somehow smile about their past?
Knowing as a breeze these memories, they passed, like a daffodil within the waters
Gently drifting away, within the currents, of the everflowing tide
While you watched intently, amazingly, these ghost, of soon to be days gone by....
Understanding as you bowed, thinking, maybe you'll see them again somehow?
Inside of these crystals, as you turn to walk away, unto, another day....
Inhaling deeply, and sighing slightly, within this here and nows, breath
As you slow down your pace, to absorb, and to take them all in
To gather their eyes, within your soul again, should the sun not rise, tomorrow?
Playing these musical melodies, to be placed into snow globes, someday, frosted
Standing at the rivers edge, beholding, these flowers that grow
To gather them within hand, a hope, a wish, a goal, to create this bouquet....
