Spring Equinox

Sun light warms my face

With the promise 

Of heat to come.

The earth and her creatures

Love the sun,

Celebrate,

The turn of the earth,

Its swing back to birth.

Gravity's sunshot

Urging, turning, weight

I’m yearning for fate,

The sun is the focus

Of transcendence,

And holiness,

Bliss,

And arrival –

We’ve come,

For the sun.

So with push and with pull,

The light has returned.

With its heat,

I’m complete

With arousal, carousal,

Back ‘round again,

Amen.
