Persephone Rises

If you have been with Persephone and feel a need to rise to the light, this is for you~

Leaving darkness behind we take flight to the light

Unable to sustain our need for growth we rise to the light

From September to March we withdraw into the internal

We let change have its way with us

Take root in the darkness, the unknown, the void

I grieve that I must leave the moist comfort of my internal safe world

But the light draws me

She calls me

My Soul yearns

To live in the light again

I had a dream I was holding a bird

A large, calm bird, in my arms

Who kept changing who she was

She was mine and I was hers

I wondered later, why I was holding the bird

Carrying her along, why she was not flying

She seemed, at home

Have I grown so comfortable in my rootedness

Have I lost my instinct to fly

Am I afraid that if I let go and fly so high

I will be untethered from all I love and cherish

Will I want to come home

Who will I be without my home

As the Spring calls to me

My Soul wants to answer

I have been home long enough

I have been in the underground

It is time to rise to the light
