What shows
how little
we know?
What can be is
oft far less than
what we expect.
What is now
has never been
what it was.
07/25/2024 j.g.l.
We only know what we know,
but know there is change.
Indeed we know the darkness,
and will wait here
for the light;
a little more each day.
We do not always know
what will come or when
it will arrive and
distinguish between light and heat.
It will only become colder
before we reach the brightness
and warmth of spring.
Day by day, a little more.
We settle in for winter,
so much remains.
We must remain content
knowing what will come.
