there are some
the miserable and staid
who will point out
feigning humour
with sedate sarcasm
that for all its beauty
of flowers blooming
bright and buoyant
the inspiring curiosity
of the natural world
re-emerging or returning
to thrive once more
this resplendent equinox
simply means that
the longest day of the year
has now passed
that nights will lengthen
and begin to encroach
more and more upon
our sunlight hours
so that in no time at all
winter will have returned
and another year
slipped by
