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 summers 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…
