This is the wisdom
in vigilance and caution
In preparation

Prepare for Winter,
and you survive the harshest
To live one more day

Prepare for Summer,
and Winter's return will kill
Freezing you to death.

Summer promises
Warmth and radiance lasting
But last it cannot.

The food disappears.
Bonds become frayed by the cold
Promises just freeze.

Raclawise's touch
Advises preparation
Not naivete.
