Like a coiled up Slinky

Quivering with anticipation

For Winter to bow out

And cue me in

Just one small nudge

A soft breath to launch me

Off the parapet

Slooooooowly does it.....

Then it’s off we go

Wooooohooooo!

Gathering momentum

My heart’s singing

My coils zinging

Colours of tulips and daffodils and crocuses and blossom

And new green shoots

Every new step an explosion

Of awe and wonder

Of birds and butterflies and bees

And new born lambs

Can’t slow down....

Cue in Summer!
