Cloak Undone


Trees in such lavish array
White with hues, tones and shadow gray
Nature's brush strokes all through the night
Illumed by the early morning light
Gentle winds and the warming mid morn sun
Soon the snow cloak of trees undone
Birds in flight impel the cold winter air
And all be known in God's loving care.
