on top there was snow here early

then the sun came

&

we have a golden day

erasing any white


therefore

elsewhere there were floods

boys rode through on bikes

and i think of you

the bravery


who knows what lies underneath

here the land goes up and down

water drains

into rivers

lakes

&

cellars


soon is gone

with the morning

so much recovered

we carry on

we have learned many ways

that may be the thing to do

& i too

may need to get over it
