The Winter Cycle
Perhaps it's the way
the long winters make us forget our past
and allow us to live a little more
with each passing year.
We can watch the smiling faces
in their passive states,
and smile ourselves
because we agree.
Because all of us forget the cycle.
We don't remember the summer's heat.
The long winter made us forget our past
once again.
And nobody seems to mind,
so we can stay anxious for the next moment.
For the next day brings hope.
And could we all use that?
Yeah.
