There are so few perfect moments in our lives - this is my fantasy of trying to preserve them. View table of contents...

If only...
I could capture this moment in time
this moment of bliss
of comfort and delight
and freeze it
pull it all into a glass bowl
and seal it tight
like a snowglobe

then it could last forever
the giddiness,
the laughter
the sheer joy
captured, enblazoned
forever on our faces
never to be erased

if only we could always be
our perfect selves
loving, happy, satisfied
inside the snowglobes of our lives
only the shaken, glittering snow
interrupting our perfect existence

Thank you Z! :)

I really enjoyed this one - while I liked the technical quality of colours more, the concept of the snowglobe stayed with me well after I'd read the words. It's really beautiful - and encapsulated beautifully the desire to hold on to something temporal.

Very impressive.
I feel the same way about photographs..they are to me
the nearest we can get to preserving a special moment in time. Love the word 'Snowglobe'
Keep up the good work.

You are correct about photographs - looking back on them can often reignite the feelings you were experiencing when they were taken. Yes almost as good as being in that special moment. I really appreciate your feedback and encouragement. :)
