My Snow Globe

My Snow Globe
The snow falls like icing on a cake
as it settles on the structure of the basilica.
 You hear the water as the bubbles race to the top of the round sphere.
 The water glitters in the sun as the snow falls and settles.
 You shake the snow globe.
The water flashes around for a few seconds and then it carefully drifts down like a sheet of paper blowing in a summer breeze. 
It sits on your shelf bringing back floods of memories every time you take a glance at it.
