Snow Globe

My vision as looking towards the sky

 

Snow Globe

 

To watch the clouds form above

Pillowing outward engulfing the doves

Symmetrically dancing figurines

Put on a show with hidden scenes

White and gray abstracts drift

As the cold meets, the hot gives lift

Flashes of light jolt space and time

Collapsing walls spin on a silver dime

 

Ear piercing sounds rattle the brain

While watching the globe flip upside down in vain

The temperature becomes a stiffing cold

The snow begins as the wind takes its toll

A purity of white blanks the air

As these crystal flakes collect along the tear

A sudden flash ignites the sky

The globe begins to roll to the other side

Flakes begin to rush towards the end

Visibility is lost for a moment in the raging wind

 

 A child lifts its tongue

To catch a single rare yum

The sun returns to warm the air

The wind recedes to that of a teddy bear

 

To watch the clouds form above

To share the spices laced with love

To see this vision through eyes of old

Praises to all; thankfully we are not in a fish bowl.

Ralphy,
this is wonderful!
The picture you've painted
with your words is just beautiful!

I particulary like the cloud imagery...

"Pillowing outward engulfing the doves

Awesome!
I love watching the clouds..
I think they're incredible actually,
the images you can find in them..
are sometimes down right goosebumpish...lol

Or when watching them from
an airplane...
they look so, pillowish! :)


The entire piece is fantastic!
I just love reading your work my friend ... :)

Outstanding.

That was so good and it reminds me of when I was younger catching the snow on my tongue lol I hope to keep seeing some more of your work

Lovely. The imagery was mind blowing and you used such powerful lines:
"A child lifts its tongue
To catch a single rare yum"
"To share the spices laced with love"
"we're not in, a fish bowl."

A stunning write!
