Of Myth and Lore
(Let me tell you a story, of a queen in the dark, taken to the underworld, and left her mark)
Persephone, a maiden of spring’s grace,
In the fields she roamed, a radiant face.
But Hades, the lord of the underworld's reign,
With a dark desire, took her in chains.
To the depths of the realm where shadows play,
Her story unfolds in a somber sway.
In the realm of the dark and the cold,
Persephone’s tale is a legend bold.
Through the underworld’s shadowed veil,
Her story is both poignant and frail.
Persephone, queen of the night’s embrace,
In the underworld’s cold, she found her place.
With each season’s change, she roams and reigns,
A tale of love and sorrow's chains.
In the dance of darkness and spring’s light,
Her legend endures in the eternal night.
Her mother, Demeter, wept with despair,
For her daughter’s absence, the earth laid bare.
With each return and every spring bloom,
Persephone’s tale dispels the gloom.
In the dance between the light and the dark,
Her legend lives on, leaving a mark.
In the world where the seasons turn,
Persephone’s story is one to learn.
Through the balance of dark and day,
Her tale is a light that guides the way.
Persephone, queen of the night’s embrace,
In the underworld’s cold, she found her place.
With each season’s change, she roams and reigns,
A tale of love and sorrow's chains.
In the dance of darkness and spring’s light,
Her legend endures in the eternal night.
(And though the seasons shift and sway, Persephone’s tale forever stays)
