Fog In the Night

In the misty shadows of winter
on the edge of darkness 
snow gathered silently
a hush settled over the land
warmer temperatures produced fog
eerily it slowly crept forward
wrapping and winding itself
creating a warm blanket
making all invisible to sight
thick with moisture it grabbed
it's fingers wound around
pulling covers over the land
like a snug weighted blanket
it refused to throw off the covers
making sure all was down for the night.

You make it sound warm though it was freezing, but maybe that is what nature wants in Winter a Winter blanket - look at the Igloos how cozy they can be? Hugs and blessings Phyllis. Jennifer.

It is considered warm when it is less than -10C and freezing. It has been a mild winter so far and I am thankful for that as you can go outside and enjoy nature. Have a wonderful day. love phyl
