Nature's Fellowship - Ws

those cold snowy days
seldom seen in warm desert
escaping frost's snow packed fields
yet desert's green leaves
depend on drinks from storm's cache
in wells shared with thirsty land

I grew up in San Diego so those winters were usually warm, but the desert can have chilly winters, it is like a fellowship, very eloquent~

Everything here is thirsty and bites -- but a charmer after a rain and in season of bloom. It is a love hate relationship, like many are. Love it! Well done.
