Happy Vernal Equinox Day!



I wrote this Sonnet Poem when I was in fifth semester back in 2010. 
On this day, 20 March 2014, I want to republished the poem for celebrating Vernal Equinox and first day of spring even though I live in a equatorial country, Indonesia, in which spring does not exist here.   

At The Spring Equinox

You worn your blue serene lake tuxedo
I worn my green humid rainforest gown
We flee across river like torpedo 
Gazed the heart of vernal sun far from town

Our wings floated on crinkled pink blue cloud  
Pale silver moonlight flowed through our veins
Caroled the meadow’s harmony out loud
Blueberry slushy river mild our brains

When I slipped down and my world fell away 
And even the shining sun seemed tired,
You there, lift my pain and always allay
Before spring equinox has been soaked

My two violet eyes would get brighter
Because you made my stout wings grew lighter

Besides republish the poem, I also want to republish a post which taken from my old wordpress blog that no longer been used. The post is about a poem written by Hafiz titled The Sun Never Says. In this Vernal Equinox, I want to celebrate the sun that never feels tired in lighting the Earth.    


The Sun Never Says
I took the picture
when I passed through rice field near my house.
 I remember it was gold everywhere.
It was amazing.


The Sun Never Says 

from The Gift: Poems by Hafiz

Even
After
All this time
The sun never says to the earth,
“You owe Me.”
Look
What happens
With a love like that,
It lights the Whole Sky.
