Step into Spring

Throw off the blankets of winter

Slip off your overcoat’s gloom

Wipe off the makeup of hope

Take down the baubles in the room

Push away the pastries and cakes

Nibble on lemons instead

Stretch your legs, expand your lungs

Let the breeze lighten your head

Fling open the shutters of your mind

Remove the dirty drapes

Throw away moth-chewed jumpers

Create some new space

De-clutter your heavy wardrobe

Make love to your fragrant wife

Walk barefoot on warm pavements

Re-introduce yourself to life
