Shh, it’s so quiet, here inside my globe.

I sit by a plastic fire, perpetually in my robe.

I like it here, this globe, my place.

Time seems frozen in a snowy space.

I watch the world go by outside.

But here is where my time I bide.

(So simple of a life is led,

When your only neighbor is a sled.)

But I don’t desire much you see,

I’m happy just to sit and be.

The rush I see outside my dome,

Is not as peaceful as my home.

For I can sit and watch the snow,

No one to please, nowhere to go.

I wish that you could join me here,

Without a care, without a fear.

We’ll sit and watch the world go by,

Take a load off, breathe a sigh.

Listen to the barest sound,

Of snowflakes as they hit the ground.

Such beauty in the simple things,

The peace and calm a pause can be.

I AM the moment you have at hand,

Here in my Winter Wonderland.
