The Day to Spring - a plein air poem for the vernal equinox

The Day to Spring


                                          a poem for the spring equinox

It's The Day to Spring,

from winter's bare coil.

The Day for Self, 

and Nature,

to draw its longbowed

heart and sap back

and let fly,



vernally forth,

air to ground,


with anticipation

into the marrow

of all newness,

all awakening,

all fullness.
