Something about the approach of Spring stirs the poetic spirit to life. The wild geese who were told long ago it was time to leave have now been told it is time to return. The sound of their cry in the distance breaks through the winter solitude and uplifts the human soul. Such was my experience upon encountering the “Equinox Song.”
A bright welcoming sound in sky’s distance I hear
the approach of the harbinger’s announcement here.
They bear in their bodies a message so true
departing in fall, now returning anew
to announce to my heart Spring is near, hope is real.
The brightness of light celebrates what I feel.
So my spirit leaps, sings, twirls. My soul joins in too,
as we dance and we dream in what Spring now makes new.
A calling V-presence above me I see
sentinels of the equinox bid me join them,
…flying free.

Beautiful verse, Chris…I could actually imagine hearing and seeing the sleek geese returning north …harbingers of Spring!
