“Springtime Landscape” by Rami Benatar
winter carried by
Demeter’s grief
on a litter of snow
till Persephone
rises from Hades
with fruit in her
womb and the
flowers of spring
in her radiant hair

Sometimes everything has to be enscribed across the heavens so you can find the one line already written inside you. Sometimes it takes a great sky to find that small, bright, and indescribable wedge of freedom in your own heart. David Whyte

Looking ahead, without looking back (too often)
flights of fancy from New Zealand
You're never alone, if you've something to share
All you touch and all you see / is all your life will ever be

One of my favorite myths. Persephone “rises from Hades with fruit in her womb” is a lovely image. The super abundance of flowers in the picture echoes her fertility.
