Spring

 

Soft shoe shuffle

on the pavement.

Walking to school.

Boots gone,

new sandals,

soft and gentle.

The hard heavy steps

of winter gone.

The lightness

of my feet

reflects

the world

around me,

spring has come,

but I pay no

attention

to

daffodils,

snowdrops

and

crocuses.

It is

new sandals

that 

reveal

spring

to me!
