there goes green   bye-bye green

see you in the spring

here come the myriad browns

the subtle hues

and still the blue above   the brilliant winter blue

a saving grace

the summer palette is away   the bare trees   stick figures

are cold comfort

one wants color   the full spectrum 

~

let the stinging cold bring tears   

face the sun   look 

through the tears   look   there it is   a rainbow
