Snow Globes

By Elizabeth Rotunno

Oh Snow Globes
The worlds within this world
The one way you can be here, there, anywhere
You may be taken away into a world where you always feel the soft dusting of snow
Where you are here, not there
You have given more than a plane, a boat, a car, a train
Everywhere, and Nowhere
You are the possibility of All
All the places you can see without being there
All the places you can feel without sensing
You transfix those with dreams, silently ushering them
Silently giving everyone the untamed joy, need, that all want:
To see the beauty of where you are, where you were
And how you are everywhere and nowhere
You have given the greatest gift
A world were you do not need to think to know how to describe something
A raw feeling of hope is what you give
No need to go and see, only to leave everywhere
A feeling of bliss, then nothing
You can be the world in one’s pocket
Everywhere and nowhere.
