Words to the Wise: Sharing Life, Lessons, and Observations

Words to the Wise is a collection of stories, observations and insight drawn from my own experience both in the past and in the present, together with my perspective on what I may have learned in the process. Occasional poetry and astrological insights will be included when appropriate. I welcome comments, suggestions and thoughts of all kinds and am happy to respond.

Equinox Musings

Posted by on in SageWoman Blogs

Equinox

 

Just for a moment

the scales are balanced.

Just for a moment

The world holds its breath.

Breathe in, breathe out, hold.

 

Just for a moment

there is only this moment

held in the arms of Joy.

Soon the dark hours prevail

and the nights grow long.

 

Yet the light still glows

Incubated in the dark

Until just for a moment

the scales are balanced

 

between dark and light.
