Persephone’s Spring Adia B 23

Adia B. ’23

It is that time of year Where we gather our scarves, hats, gloves, and coats And push them in the deep part of our closet We bid farewell to our friend Boreas For we will meet him next December and have our special hot coco together We wish him well and step into the door of spring We have been anxious as we waited for Persephone to bring us a perfectly crafted spring She showcases her work of art for all to see And we take in how beautiful and differently crafted her display is Walking through her bright, sunny and even rainy gallery We spend time finding the changes that Persephone has made to our spring

Like how the birds sing a different tune The trees perform a new dance The flowers rise in a new location The grass puts on a different shade of green The sun kisses our skin in a different angle The weather changes its mind more The air putting on a new fragrance

So many things that we have come to love about Spring Though details of flowers, the weather and the sun may change Our goddess, Persephone never changes the feeling of change and welcoming that spring has to offer
