  Diminishing Reflections

A thousand snowflakes
dance the Winter wind
seeming to alight nowhere
  and everywhere in
the deep tumultuous
silence of the storm
as the same scene repeats
in the miniature land of
this snow-globe paperweight
werein stands another man,
holding an even tinier
snow-globe land containing
perhaps endlessly more ever
smaller magic-white worlds
   within worlds
of infinitely nested peace
  and tranquility

Thank you, Ida.  I've long wanted to write something about snow
globes ... finally got a 'round tuit!'  They've always fascinated me.

oh what a lovely scene you paint within these words xx

It is the harmony of the universe

Your title drew me in....but I'm loving "world's within worlds"  and the endless possibilities,  and all that you inspire.  

Thanks for sharing your poetry on these blue pages.
