This winter then

Vindication is not 

a substitute for happiness.

Drab is not the colour

of a brighter day.

Young children

filled with great expectations

know only flip sides.

Sublty is lost,

effect without blame.

Moving into deeper canyons

we cannot clearly see

tomorrow.

Why do we do it?

The kites fly waving long tassled tails

and the grass is cool, made for sleeping.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

Such sad things, we cannot say.
