Snow Globes

you are here

passion and flux are a strange brew ...

of firecrackers and daydreams

of compass points and fickle winds 

an excerpt from the adventurer's heart


to reminisce in a snow globe

and how the magik is in the stirring

and the peace felt in the settling

each snowflake a whisper

how those snowflakes can warm the heart



of seedlings and simple things 

the wandering and unexpected

hiking out to lonely places.

to build a campfire

and sit by the ocean

and just be


secret gardens of the heart and soul

a bonsai and stone 

questions are an answer 

and the answer is 

they survive 

but do they live

'secret gardens of the heart and soul

the third stanza was my favourite. we have to give everything we can to living, that is the only choice, life with its rhythms and dynamics not survival with its precipices and torn up notes. i read this several times and found something different each time. i always find your phrasing particularly beautiful. fantastic.

ah you write Spring in the dress of Winter...caught in the wonder of existing mindfully

Excellent! :)

snowflakes as whispers warming the heart of a wanderer...adore the second stanza especially. your poetry is magical and filled with serenity yet thought-provoking at the same time.

you make such cold nature warm to the after thought felt in what is taught...

[Neva Flores Smith - Cha..]

What a question you have posed to deeply think about. Many live together and just move from day to day, but are they truly happy do they grow in their relationship? Well done

a well executed piece of poetry.

Original and unique, winter inside a sphere to bring the magik at the flip of a palm
where the world lays silently peaceful and falling. such a beautiful concept.
