Spring Equinox

Listen to poem:
The balance tips toward the light. Now is the time to start A journey or a garden bed; Plant with a happy heart The seeds of dreams. Wake, senses, wake! Smell the moist soil that brings Forth juicy green from its dark depth. Hear how the river sings; The waters nourish and renew. Feel gentle balmy breeze Caress your skin. See sun’s bright light Awaken grass and trees. Now taste the joy. And like the earth You are refreshed and new And full of energy to plant, Begin, create, and do. 3/17/2017

A lovely time of the year. I love your first line. The balance tips toward the light. It lets us know that spring is here and summer is coming. And the rest of the lyrical poem glows from there. So glad to find your poems. Kathy

A beautiful spring write, or should I say, song? I think it's cool that you put this to music and sang it. You have so much talent, Agnes! Congrats on your 1st place win! Blessings, Kim
