Splendorous awakenings...

            The earth's axis tilts toward the sun
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...
