Python

Wrapped in the warmth of you,
wrapped up in your smile.
Wrapped in the folds of your attention.
~ you were with me today wrapping me in your love and saving me from drowning - our Faith in each other will keep us together

Hey everyone - apologies for the group reply but this week has been a bit hectic - thank you so much for the wonderful comments and favs - these snakes are beautiful and if looking straight at them are a gorgeous bright green but as you look at them in the sunlight you can see the colours differently - this is what I tried to capture here
