floating steps

I was sitting in the office

thinking of something less pretty

only to remember that

I'm trying to eliminate ugly

So I looked up at the windows

framed like a glass tank

and noticed a soft drift

that reminded me of snow

Perhaps it was spring saying hello

We've had two weeks of sunshine

and I'm afraid that gold's been all used up

Because the forecast speaks of rain and drizzle

I thought the Irish had better luck

But I look down at my black tights

with skin shining through

And realised how I'm still dressed in winter

Blue, blue, black with magenta shoes

Proving how I walk with my heart

Through days of gloom
