Stuck In a Snow Globe

The snow falling intermittently around my little cabin Covering at times my beautiful tree The only life I have ever known I dream of sunny days and flowers poking out of the ground I know not where these dreams have come from Nor the memories of waves crashing upon an unknown beach When I venture too far a barrier I meet My face pressed up so close my nose becomes smashed I try to see beyond the wooded shelf my home seems perched But all becomes a blur of lights of green red and blue So I stay close to home The lights bring a melancholy I don't understand How I came to be here is a mystery that time seems Not to want to solve Loneliness hits from time to time I talk to my tree She does not talk back which is fine with me For it does lessen the risk of disagreements That which I am not fond of Sometimes I feel I may be missing out That there may be more to see I tell myself how silly I have everything I need right here I feel neither cold nor heat Hunger nor thirst Wait... where did that thought come from I do not dwell Though I do not feel tired I do still sleep It breaks the monotony The dreams are of a different time that I don't recall Like watching a movie... A man a dog an experiment gone horribly wrong... 11/26/2019 Stuck in a Christmas Globe Poetry Contest Sponsored by Bobby May
