“Spring Song” by Sarah Nabarro


Spring springing,
Like the greatest surprise.
As if I had to die like flowers,
In order to be born again.

They say that good things come to those who wait.
But now I see,
It was Spring
Who was waiting
For me.

Sarah Nabarro (born 1982) is a poet, visual artist and therapeutic teacher. Her poems seek to ‘touch the untouchable’, exploring self, psyche, and spirituality. They are frequently informed by Buddhist philosophy. Sarah is fascinated by the idea of expressing that which may not necessarily be put into words.

She read Social Anthropology at Cambridge University (2002-6) and has acquired a number of post graduate qualifications since then, in the arts and arts psychotherapies. Creativity is, for Sarah, a spiritual practice that ‘connects us back to ourselves and our own divinity’.


Sarah lives in North London with her husband and small daughter.
