Stop and Have a Look

It doesn’t have to be the 

Brown tree twig of the Cellar spider

Or the Yellow Banana wings of the

Clouded yellow butterfly 

Or the Dark purple  spikes from a 

Melancholy thistle in Moseban park.

It could be a lonely crow sitting

At the top of a tree whilst the

School children laugh and play

Or a wiggly worm finally escaping

A rock that’s been lifted up from a child

Or even an empty crisp packet lying 

On the long grass with dried up leaves.

Be as happy as a sunflower

Meeting light after 1 year.

Notice how the beautiful flowers 

Glow up when the bright yellow

Sun comes up,

Even a dead flower growing back

Every year.
