I’ve scheduled this prompt to post at the moment of the equinox. If you’re reading this in the northern hemisphere, welcome to autumn. In the south, spring has sprung.
This week let’s a write an equinox poem. While day and night are equal today, this is a time of change. Post where you’re going in the comments below.

minus 2:14
Sunrise
Wash in the rush of our lives
Sunset, the new day
minus 2:14
Sunrise
Equilibrium is all that we want
Balance
a day at peace
Sunset, the new day
minus 2:14
Equinox
12 hours of day, 12 hours of night
Yin and Yang
But only in that moment
Like Magritte’s visions
Hiding the chaos that is
Sunset, the new day
minus 2:14
