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
Symmetrically dancing figurines

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.

hey, congrats on winning honorable mention on the contest. I can see why you won. It's wonderful!! I sp like the end when you say,

"To see this vision through eyes of oldPraises to all; thankfully we are not in a fish bowl." That ties the whole poem together, because at first I wasn't sure where it was heading. Because when you think about it, the world is beautiful. and this poem shows to appreciate it, and find majesty in the simple things.

great work ralphy. great work.

your cafe friend...kena
