do the trees not know, that their leaves come back?
do they stand naked in the rain, hoping
that this isn't the end? i wonder sometimes.

the darkness comes early in the winter.
surely they know that. or are they thinking
the sky has given up on happiness?

maybe the winter seems never-ending
familiar, but the pain doesn't get
any easier. maybe it is the end.

the sky stays dark, as i sit, all alone
crying now but then i see - A Daffodil
just a single daffodil, standing tall.
