Equinox: a meditation poem

Equinox: 

Now

the point of 

pause

is reached

at last;

our sacred place 

of celestial

rest,

when the balance 

turns

towards 

the light, 

and we

gather

in our 

Springtime

flowering

to

celebrate 

that

moment

when

battle's

scales

tipped for ever

to the

Light,

as eternity 

kissed

time

and 

womb woke 

it

from its

long

sleep

of

slumbering

sin

to a blessed 

beauty 

longed 

for

and found

only

in she 

who

is the

vernal

greening 

of

our human

story,

and

with her 

soul assent 

gained 

for us

our 

Easter

ever 

after.

It’s good to remember in these crazy times that we are still part of the deep rhythms of the cosmos; that we still rest secure in the eternal embrace of Divine Love.

The days of the Spring Equinox were traditionally a time of rejoicing for the coming of the light and in the Christian tradition we celebrate the Annunciation, the entry into our world of the Divine Light, incarnate through Mary, marked at the end of the festival. (March 25th) 

However worried and anxious or even ill you may be remember the Light is growing and the darkness can never overpower it.

Equinox blessings to one and all+
