snow globe

Out from behind the glass I peer
And, tracing pictures in the frost,
Sit still within my snowy sphere,
In solitude great wonders watch.

Waiting, winter world my own,
Tranquility in blue and white.
Concealed within a perfect globe
From chaos that I saw outside.

I'd rather be deaf and alone
Than hear the raging noise beyond.
Stentorian world that shook me so
Now sealed away in snow globe song.
