Snow Globe

Aug 23, 2021

I sign off and say goodbye

In stepping sideways, I avoid a calamity

So that we - you and me,

May be saved forever in a snow globe.

A moment of time 

Of a grand love always in waiting

I wind up the snow globe

So we may try the dance again

And maybe this time, you be careful of my toes


You smell of old weathered clothes 

And my cheek rests on your chest

We move and we don't 

Stuck in time - the song playing on a loop

It's more dangerous this time

No one will be around 

And the ice is melting 

There is a danger of drowning

The snow globe shatters 

Tiny hands pick us up and put us back together

For they know where home is 

And we have to listen and learn..
