Winter will surprise Way up north It may be mild In a relative way The sun rises late Casts long shadows Tall trees cooperate The visuals provoke thinking Do we cast shadows? How long and for how long? Something to think about When the sun goes down The shadows disappear When we go Our shadows remain If we made any in the first place Did we impact in some way? Were we aware? Is ignorance a viable excuse? We must participate If life is to have value The uphill path is lonely Not many are willing to travel Too difficult Downhill is popular It leads to nowhere, but You arrive quickly Patterns in life are common Shadows will vary as The sun rises higher Efforts bring mixed results Many factors involved Beauty is consistent When the sun Lights up the forest When clouds create cover The temperature drops Beauty remains Shadows change Will the darkness remember?
