shaken, thoughts stirred

Living within this fragile ice glass globe
A gentle shake and leaves do fall
The sunlit skies reign over snow tipped Alps
As swooping birds graze lapping waves

Each gentle breeze does whisper by
Pluperfect scenery in random design

When snow does fly, from restless clouds
It’s with poetic grace and subtle care
As though shaken by a hand with modest flair

Quite often we can only stand and stare, at
Brush stroked hues of magnificent awe
While our breath lingers in the chilled air
Our eyes are nourished by the sight beheld

Even while the calm beating rains flow down
One tends to take thoughts from their holster

Surely there must be an ever-watching eye
As we dwell here, upon the universes mantel
Living within this fragile ice glass globe
