your affliction to fade
How little we know of what we are blessed with our shimmering island it
turns
How little we look at what we see clearly of tragedy's lessons not
learned
Sleeping through classes we'll make it up later there's still so much
time left to go
Misguided rose we bloom in October emerging triumphant in time for the
season's first sn
