Being Ready.

Fay Slimm.

Being Ready.

See the March sun wedging its roundness
through gaps in grey clouds,
shouldering drench away from flowering.

See the fresh buds writhing as half-opened
colour expects warmth's
bold impregnation felt to be potent.

See the bare-branches upwardly meshing
as seething with stretch
greenness reshapes its abundant tresses.

See the hedgerows dance without moving,
as wild blossom-heads loosen
and nod to Spring's evocative music.

See the ground flush with myriad pleasures
and enter dimensions where
success is measured by being ready.
