Cloth-Like Snow

Middle of winter
When the snow falls frequently
Earth opens its arms lovingly
Snow lands on the ground
Leaving cloth like covering
Over the smooth flowing bed

Great personifying of Mother Earth, Russell. Everything about this choka is inviting...even a blanket of snow sounds warm and comfortable. How nice to have pulled this one off!! Off to my favs for me treasure trove of gold!!.....Gwendolen Glad to hear u were touched by the Millions of Yellow Cotton Stars...I named it that bc of the commonality of the words...nothing fancy..just plain like the salt of the earth. Blessings.
