Is brown the color of death?
or is black the color of lifelessness?
Brown grass withered
Brown trees bereft of leaves
Leaves still and brown and shaking
loosely and nonchalantly on a brown tree
Sad scorched land with dried streams
Barren brown earth streaked with frost
Is this the color of death?
Is this the color of lifelessness?
When will the clouds break out?
When will the gentle rains come?
Is there an end?
Is there a spring?
