Moment in a Snowglobe

A single note played softly started the simple dance

A dream, a moment that stays frozen in time

Our snowglobe keeping us cutoff and safe

While the world outside peered curiously inside

Around and around, the music spinning us faster

Going nowhere, but needing nothing but this moment

No fear, no doubt, nothing but your eyes

Let the snow fall around us, shielding us a bit longer

A small shake, a quiver as the snowglobe trembles

Darkness overhead, an unknown hand controlling our fate

The last note sounds, cheerful, yet mournful

A final spin as our private world tumbles around us

The moment lost, our grip failing as the snow falls heavy

Will the music ever play again for a simple dance

Will those eyes ever peer into mine, speaking without words

Only silence as the snow begins to settle gently

Raising up, the snowy earthquake finally over

Reaching out, but finding nothing but the cold

Our snowglobe suddenly becoming only mine

Forever dreaming, waiting for the next dance

A glass bubble giving protection from the world

Shutting away pain and fear, a peaceful existence

Lonely as it may be, that single note will play again

Then off to dream of our one moment once more
