flakes float through the breeze
never landing on the fallen snow
as though they're memories
that will soon fly away
moving in a snow globe
only to be shaken when a child
grabs it at a christmas party
then looks up pointing to geese
flying west into the sunset
over the snow covered mountains
lit by colorful lights of the season
reflecting in the blue eyes of the young child
amazed by the out of focus lights he will forget
just as a flakes falls onto his little freckled nose
blue sky now dark gray lit by the glistening stars
the boy cannot comprehend beyond the green and red lights
ignoring the universe's beauty
as music sung by artists
long gone fill the air with a jazzy tone
on a beautiful evening day
before santa will come to
light up the child's world
as the light captivated his every attention
his sea blue eyes will dream of shooting green and red stars
guiding the geese to a warmer place as the world sleeps peacefully
