Soft Blanket

Snowflakes twirl from above like soft feathers floating down gently they touch the cheek white translucent particles melt as it contacts warm skin pristine crystals upon eyelashes cold penetrates frayed by undying winds frost bite begins to sting salt forms in the eyes blueness upon the lips cold faintly creeps in. elements awakened soft white blanket over the earthly shell 15/01/17

Phyl you never cease to amaze me with your lovely poems. You truly have a gift and the picture you paint here is enchanting. It makes me think of my garden out back covered by the soft white blanket of snow. Great job. God Bless, JB

Thanks Anne Lise. It is cold and bit of snow today. Am behind in my comments. Been down with same flu I had last year. On day 6 right now and hoping to nip IT so it does not hang on for 3 months like last year.
