The tufts of summer's foliage
Add depth to the shallow innocence
Of a temporary snow soon fleeting
As the blush of the dawn heats
Past Venus and melting streets
There and then will reality set in
As fun or dreary as I decide to elongate
The fair truth of any moment as this one waits
For me to decide how deep will
Joy trickle before it's stopped by
The icicles of yesterday's beauty
And the perceived bleakness
Of today's emotional weakness.
