Spring Equinox 2012

spring arrives slowly in North West Montana

there is a dance

much like a tango

back and forth between winter and spring 

it will be a month

or two before we see a wildflower

yet each day the snow retreats and the rings of earth around the trees grow larger

many of the days are shades of gray

making more evident where the inner spark of light 

of Spring

resides

in honor of the spring equinox

or autumn in other parts of the world

I offer you colored rocks

that remind me of both seasons

as I write the sun shines bright

tall trees dance in the wind

birds sing daily of arriving Spring
and our day nears it's end

~

lovely equinox to one and all
