The sky looks down with the dark eye of a new moon; spring buds pop their heads. Winter snaps, not yet. March Moons howl for seasonal winds that breathe change. Terrestrial tides collide, and winter gives way. Sun and moon stand poised.
Worm Moon signals the nightcrawlers to rise and stir the loam, breaking free of the frozen dirt. Spring Moon stirs the sleepy pods to shed winter's coats and stretch their fertile roots. The Sugar Moon coaxes the sweet maples to release their sugary sap.
Permafrost relents. Skywatchers eagerly anticipate the moons of March.
A morrowless day arriving on the equinox perfectly balanced. ---
Spring Sings! "Zephyr, carry the seeds far and wide. Loam provides for their needs. Seeds shed those winter coats. Nightcrawlers dig underground moats. Clouds, let loose your showers, ushering in bouquets of mayflowers!" A morrowless day arriving on the equinox perfectly balanced.
Sun and moon poised on a morrowless day equinoctial time shift
Andy Perrin @aperrincycling · 43m Replying to @RhondaLBrown2 The sky's the limit with your lunar show. You certainly touched on the cycles of the transitions we watch closely day by day as winter drags and the hope of spring begins to emerge. Love the push and pull of the moon in the connections you made. Thanks for sharing today!
March Moons by Bronte Brown
the sky looks down with the dark eye of a new moon, spring winks to the stars
seeds shed winter's shield roots stretch in fertile dirt- March winds howl for spring
loam stirs, breaking free- muddling nightcrawlers rise under the Worm Moon
Spring's foretokens Marsh marigolds in damp fields butterflies delight.
