Stepping Into Spring

I love the thought that the spring equinox brings balance -- day and night are poised and balanced and about to tip over on the side of light.  Isn't this a wonderful thought? 

To welcome Spring I'd like to share with you a poem by Alex Langstone

Spring Equinox Poetic Meditation

As the light finally catches

Its twin faced dark

A brief truce is called

As the balance of opposites

Merge and entwine

As new life approaches

From the cold dark earth

And the egg of creativity

Breaks at the crack of dawn

The leaping hare dance.

As the rain and wind swirls

Around the budding branches

The sunset approaches and equinoctial

Balance allows the suns rays

To burst through the bank of grey cloud

The illuminating rays of the equinox sun

Allow the daffodils to glow

As they dance in the whirling wind

Joyfully they nod to the descending fiery orb

Beyond the solitary ancient oak.
