The pull of the Equinox
March 2nd, 2012 by Sarah
It’s getting closer.
Our nights are drawing in.
I feel the equilibrium.
As does the nature in my garden.
The leaves have started turning,
as your leaves are just budding.
You’ve noticed the days beginning to linger on -
haven’t you?
Snowdrops in your garden, daffodils too?
My strawberries are still hanging on -
but the leaves are turning from green to red
We gather our harvest, you plant your crops.
We feel the chill of the south winds from Antarctica -
You feel the warm winds of spring.
Slowly turning. We both feel the pull.
Drawing closer.
Our days and nights of equal measure -
Until we swing the other way.
