Returning Light

Spring Equinox this year is rainy,

the ground outside muddy, and the sky invisible.

But the energy will overlap

for some days after this date. We can still celebrate.

And we plan to! We, the Goddesses

of Shining Light, will gather to dance and share that light.

At the time when light returns to us,

we shall draw it into our hearts and then shine it far.

We gather together to return

to what we are, to who we are, again and again.

We turn to the light, return to light,
turn on the light. We carry the light in our souls.

Written for Poets United's Midweek Motif: Equinox, Equator.

The form is a landay, as described by Robert Lee Brewer at Poetic Asides (but the mood probably isn't).

Some lines of the poem allude to the song Return Again, which is used at gatherings of the Goddesses of Shining Light.
