My glass bowl

I'm sitting inside a glass bowl,

watching the trees curve and bend,

letting the sky sew and mend

my patchwork of a mind.

I'm sitting inside a glass bowl,

wondering -- how far can I reach?

Is it only me in this bowl,

is there one for each?

I'm sitting inside a glass bowl,

watching the world through a glass,

and I sit still in the hustle going past

I'm sitting inside a glass bowl,

adoring the vastness of my space .

The world outside seems to be in awful haste

And I see of glass or plastic and paper, a bowl which keeps you out of danger. But tell me friend, what will you do, when the world decides to live in the bow with you? Will there be enough space for you and it? Perhaps you should cram the world in that bowl and live from outside, seeing things with its eyes.

But... the outside is so scary! :p
Yes yes you're exactly right, it can feel entrapping

[Sir Drift & Mr. Pulse]

Not if it is you looking in.

[Reetta]

Yes, precisely, the goal of life is to break out of the snow globe and gasp for fresh air!!

[Sir Drift & Mr. Pulse]

You must be a few of the smart ones left! Many have made their own globes, but I see you have been crafting theirs :)

It's not bad if you're not ready to leave your comfort zone to try an adventure and experience new things. The world is vast and chaotic and that's just a part of it... The other side of the world is full of beauty waiting for you to discover. Just follow our phase no need to rush things over. Someday you'd be bored sitting on your glass bowl. The door is open and never was closed.

[Reetta]

ooh thank you, I like your interpretation of this!! I didn't think about the poem in this way

[YanZeros]

You are welcome Reetta! This kind of poetry only you the author can reveal the story behind this! :)

The repetition is very effective. Wonderfully thought-provoking. Sometimes it indeed feels like life takes place in a fish 'bowl'. Excellent job.

[Reetta]

Thank you I love that it was thought-provoking :) Yes yes exactly, I was trying to bring across feeling stuck inside my own mind.. my own glass bowl. Being restricted by my own mind but at the same time feeling content with the 'vastness of my space'

[Reetta]

Thank you :D
