From Poets United, Verse First: 'Reaction'



vernal equinox


there is
birth today,

when flesh
meets sky,

where all is
promised,

and all else
forgiven.

  3. Birth today... it begins, this thing we call spring and adore. I must tell you... the flesh meets sky line threw me for a loop. I wondered if your birth reference was resurrection/Easter related. A death/rebirth image. Thought-provoking and complete in it's brevity.
