shifting the sunrise furthest away from the sunset'Tis the rehearsal of the March equinox
the very instant of time when the sun glides across
the celestial equator - flooding light upon the
prolonged hours that mark the first day of spring;
Poetry 'sprouts' from the fertile ground and
once again the earth laughs in a splendour of colours;
Blossom of tulips, lilies of the valley, pansies
of the deepest purple, king cups of Irises, awakening
lilacs, sparkling dandelions, clusters of
Muscari hug the ground beneath - from where
the bright yellow daffodils rise;
And the blue heavens look down upon the 'stars' of
the earth in a sigh of wonderment;
Persephone, daughter of Demeter and Goddess
of nature & fertility has indeed descended on
earth to tend to the soil that nourish her crop and
flowers; Rejoice my fellowmen! for the sweet
laughing Spring has come to renew our spirit and
make light our hearts...
