Snow Globes Piercing Diamonds

Remembrances lead to longing for souls once united in time long ago
still precise in memory now only in far distant accounts long closed
unreachable and compartmentalized without any semblance to reality 
like snowflakes hypnotic white illusions of distorted reflections untouchable
 
The predictable heart in relentless wandering overlooks and overcomes
while foreboding and hope battle for dominance with impetuous passion
in the vainly desperate hours reason dances away upon lyrical notes 
the spiraling cold blue music no one hears plays on in mystical magic
 
Whiskey soaked caricature’s fill the room with their constituent shapes 
as the potent silence of unspoken words holds us captive purposefully
the decision for deceit is one whom another deceiver cannot believe in or trusts
as metamorphosis brings the senses present to the change in seasonal rime
 
All common attributes even when perfectly polished run black inside paradox
no more than a few percent of spectacular in the spectrum of light’s shine
the temptation to melt away no longer haunts from the icy facets of time 
fire devours all impurities and remains one pure spirt ablaze.

Thank you Silent one... Family Christmas is not always what Hallmark pushes on the public...however the Birthday of our Lord is something that one can hold onto and celebrate:-) Thank you so much for posting. Merry Christmas!
