Persephone descending
this, the season of goodbyesboth temporary and eternal.
as Persephone descends,
we each find our own sadness
and hold it close about us,
poor substitute for warmth
in this deep winter of Demeter's grief.
leaden skies mirror an earth
mourning the pomegranate's curse.
eyes flat with contained despair
watch the horizon,
praying, hoping, dreaming of
Persephone's rising, Demeter's celebration,
spring.
