Spring 2021

Equal Day & equal night.
The end of winter.
The age of wonder.
The fecundity of spring.

Equal darkness, equal light.
The joy of youth.
The immaturity of thought.
The nature of change.
The hopeful whims of a ram.

Wishing to see balance, to touch the garment of illusion.
To draw back our falsehood.
Daffodils and lilies.
Ashes to soil.

From water to fire.
Ethos to pathos.
From spirit to apathy.
Blooming from the blood.
Pilfering in the mud and mire.

Vernal and autumnal.
Juvenile and milk fed.
Grasping for answers.
Seeking validation.

Spring has sprung.
I hold my breath.
Anxious for it to be still.

I wait for the sunset.
Immured and sullen.
Disenchanted.

The world keeps turning.
The seasons kiss at each doorway.
We watch our demise with ignorance
We watch with unopened eyes.
