A Weekly Reflection: World Poetry Day 3.21.2011

In honor of “World Poetry Day” and the new beginnings of the Spring Equinox:

The sweet song of the birds

calls me from my winter's sleep

announcing that Spring has arrived.

I stretch and wipe the remnants of sleep

from slowly focusing eyes.

 

Sunlight streams though spider silk curtains of gauzy

lightness and a soft and gentle breeze

carries the scent of newly awakened earth

I stand from my soft bed of moss and greenery

the earth below my feet moist with fairy kissed dew

a leafy canopy of roof that shelters over head

filters early morning sunlight like shards

of the finest crystalline prism

 

All of nature surrounds me

The call to Spring heard

in the deep roots that

meander through

loamy earth.

 

I lift my face upwards

towards sun drenched sky

and breathe in the

essence of newness

Quickened life fills my being

and in harmony with

the eternal cycle

I am clothed

in the fabric

of

Gaia's Spring cloak
