Warm and smooth
Speaks of earth and life
Dig in your toes
Shed stress and strife
Comforting soothing
Hot tea, blanket, or sock
Solid support to lean on
A tree, strong arm, and a rock
And not to forget that sweet
Melt in your mouth taste
Curl up now and rest
Set aside need for haste
Not dull or plain, but rich
And fulfilling… chocolatey brown
From “On Colors”
