One of the Goddesses I have always been drawn to is the Lady Persephone. She is real to me and I wrote this poem in Her honor as the Goddess of Spring. Birds are perched atop their trees Singing their sweet melodies Below them spreads a canopy of green Covering everything that can be seen And a gentle breeze wafles by Not a cloud mars the perfect blue sky And you wonder could this be Spring? Is it true Demeter's daughter has returned to the land? Bringing the seeds of life She holds in Her hand? Does our beloved Goddess once again walk the Earth? Bringing us Her Joy and Mirth? And once more bringing life to this parched ground? No more lamentations, no more tears Lovely Persephone once more is here The Golden Child, gently singing Flowers blooming, bells ringing Announce to us She is near The laughing Goddess, gentle fair With flowers entangled in Her hair No more must Her Mother mourn Once again Spring is born Rejoice all, She has returned again To bring Winter to it's end |

 Wow!!! What a coincidence, Persephone is also one of my favorite mythical characters, she is both a goddess of beauty but also very mysterious and knowing Demeter made the deal with Hades that she'll be free in nature spring and summer and come to the underworld autumn and fall what omnipresence she posseses! (sigh) God Bless You, sweet friend, this is marvelous, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Sikanda, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you!

A delightful brief encounter shared here in Greek Mythology.... I too am so very Greatful that she is released to us by the underworld a brief period for each year to brighten and enlighten our world and our spirits. Just imagine if we had no Spring?? I think a wonderful poem for this time of the year. A little needed chear like a ray of sunshine streaming through the clouds that can brighten the darkest of souls. Very nice poetry. And if I haven't yet welcomed you to Passions, let me welconme you now. God bless, -Bob [This message has been edited by Lighthousebob (01-10-2003 11:15 AM).] |

What a delightful poem and I am with you on wanting the rain to stop here, as we don't get the cold here but sure get tons of rain. Nicely done I enjoyed it very much. ~ The soul lies buried in ink that does not flow ~ |
