The Vernal Equinox Welcome to the vernal equinox, a time to move hour forward all our clocks. Regrowth, rejuvenation and rebirth, A zest for life and lust for all its worth. As warm winds kiss away the cold and freeze, the sap is rising in the Maple trees. A lover pulls you softly to his lips, and springtime permeates within your hips. The smell of flowers mixes with the rain, our nature’s aphrodisiac to tame. The world becomes a rainbow opalescent, with marigolds and lilac ever present. Bare trees arrayed in bright pastels and such. A longing for outside lures very much. Babes are born on spindly legs to stand, to graze from grasses green across the land. Luscious springtime of the wondrous world, a season when God’s beauty is unfurled.
