The Snow Globe Poem by Alex Harper
The Snow Globe
You may not realise
I have not shared
but deep down
I am like a snow globe!
When you talk to me
When you reach out to me
Outwardly I appear smooth
Cool and calm
like a mirror
projecting a scene of tranquillity
always setting the scene
always making sense of your surroundings
giving a glimpse of bigger pictures
wider fields
But inside I am like a Snow Globe
Ever word you utter
shakes me to the core
my world become a blizzard
a myriad of incandescent snow
thoughts that flurry
that settle uncomfortably
atop of one another
jumbled
You cannot reach inside
I cannot touch you whilst I am there
I can only project the image
a totally silent reflection
a sense that everything will settle
and the scene will return to its original order
Inside I am screaming
Often I do not see the woman
I only see the child
You are mine and everything that touches you
Everything that hurts you - Shatters my world!

How strong is your love to your daughter! you are stressed because of her? and bcome an avalanche? but if it is out of love- it will bring only care and calmness!
