The repetition worked to really highlight the cycles, not only of nature, but of our own emotions. In basking in the warmth of summer and preparing for the cold. In the deeper reflection into expecting something more out of each day, a lifted heart, yet being let down, emptied out in the same ways each day. It reminded me of those who have hope, like a child, and who still try to overcome even when life tries to weigh them down. It's so incredibly human, to have hope, to lose it, to have faith, to be faithless and question the quality of life.

A short but powerful piece, Matthew.
