When Persephone Comes

Persephone's mythology is expressed as a metaphor for spiritual transformation.

Narcissus embraces paper white;
Reclaiming memories, holding tight
To father's love; her life's delight.

His promise kept; the flower's found
Resting closely to the ground.
Her father's gift; memories surround:

"Love shall append thy heart one spring;
When Persephone comes to thee again,
Pomegranate seeds shall supplant chagrin.

"Crocus, Iris, do thou bring
To your mother one fine spring,
Blue hyacinths shall then form thy ring."

A father's gifts make life content
Whilst mother's love is never spent.
A lover's poem's like a Lily's scent.

This fine spring our lives are one,
Thy father's promise is thus done:
Spring blossoms sweet when Persephone comes.
